Chapter 313: Stubborn Resistance
"The east is red, the sun is rising, and Daming has a loyal uncle. He sought liberation for the people, and he was the great savior of the people......"
With the capital city of Dengzhou as the core, a ballad praising the legendary leader Wang Ruiwang began to spread in all directions.
All the big gentry with more than 200 acres of land were classified as local tyrants and inferior gentry who brought disaster to the countryside and oppressed the good.
Their land was confiscated by the governor of Denglai, and it was given to their former domestic servants and the poor people in the vicinity. Moreover, the working group dispatched also confirmed the title deed of the government on the spot, and at the same time registered it in the yellow book of fish scales.
After repeated criticism meetings, many men from large gentry families were killed and maimed by criticism. Their daughters were distributed to the local poor.
The huge changes have turned the entire Dengzhou Mansion upside down. Many large families have been destroyed without warning.
Of course, these local entrenched families are not easy to mess with. For example, Mo Xiao'an, a wealthy man in Mojiazhuang, Qixia Pinglidian, chose the road of confrontation with the Dengzhou army.
This Mo family was originally from the Qixia Wang clan, and more than ten years ago there was a jinshi, and the official was the county magistrate of Anqiu County, Qingzhou Prefecture. With this level of official relations, in the past ten years, he has made a great fortune.
Around Pinglidian, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, all of which have been occupied by the Mo family by various means of ingenuity. There is a local saying, called "Qixia has a Pingli store, and all the land belongs to Mo Xiao'an".
As soon as the Dengzhou Army's big action of "fighting local tyrants and punishing inferior gentry" was launched, Mo Xiao'an became interested in this. On the one hand, he asked people to send a letter to the second brother who was far away in Anqiudang County, and generally bought knives, guns, bows and arrows, and was ready to resist stubbornly.
"Mr. Liu Bai! This Mojiazhuang, it looks like this is very difficult to fight! The team leader looked at the tall courtyard wall of Mojiazhuang and Liu Laosan, the leader of the team, said.
"Don't fight? Is it difficult to fight such a rich man's farm? I can't fight such a place, so I don't think we should go back to see the general. Just find a piece of tofu and hit the ball! Liu Laosan replied disdainfully.
"The old rule, shoot a few fucking shots first! Then the musketeers went up and blew up the gate with explosives packs! Liu Laosan commanded.
They were one of the dozens of teams sent by Wang Rui to cooperate with the working group. Generally, a team of 100 is led by a general of about 200 people, and in addition to the soldiers all equipped with "28-type muskets", they also carry three mortars.
"Chirp!" A cannonball pierced the sky and landed in Mojiazhuang. After the explosion of "tom", several screams were heard in the village. There were a couple of unlucky guys who happened to be hit by mortar shells and died on the spot.
"Adjust the range and hit Lao Tzu on the top of the village!" Liu Laosan shouted.
Since the artillery of the detachments was managed by the detachments themselves. In terms of operating mortar operations, it is still much worse than the artillery battalion.
For example, the shot just now was supposed to hit the top of the village gate, but it ended up hitting the Mojiazhuang compound.
"Chirp, tweet, tweet!" Three more shells went straight to the village. After three cannon shots, the building of the village gate was blown into clods of earth and gravel, and the five Zhuang Ding were blown to the ground at that time.
"The officers and soldiers have artillery!" "Run!" The rest of the farmers turned around and ran to the village.
"Dog!" Mo Xiao'an slashed at a Zhuang Ding who ran past him, but this person couldn't dodge and fell off the village wall after being hit by the knife.
"The cannon of the dog officer army can't hit a few rounds at a time! As long as you keep Zhuangzi, I will reward you with ten taels of silver! Mo Xiao'an shouted with red eyes. This time, he really made a big investment.
When all Zhuang Ding heard this, they all hesitated and stopped. This rich man is ruthless, if this Zhuangzi really holds on, those of them who run away will definitely fall into bad luck because of this.
"Chirp, tweet, tweet!" As soon as Mo Xiao'an's words fell, three more shells hit. The four Zhuang Dings who couldn't dodge were killed and disabled again, and the small Zhuang Ding was thrown into the air more than two meters high by the shock wave before falling, and he died immediately and couldn't die anymore.
"Run!" I don't know who shouted, Zhuang Ding, who was still hesitating just now, immediately turned around and spread his feet and fled towards the village.
"Stop!" After three rounds of mortars, Liu Laosan stopped the shelling. He has now figured out that there is still no artillery in this village.
If such a landlord and a wealthy Zhuangzi still had to waste a lot of valuable mortar shells, he Liu Youcai and Liu Laosan would have to be laughed to death by the familiar officers after he went back.
"Team A stepped forward, entered the range of the bow and arrows to fire a volley, and covered the Demoman to blow up the gate!" Although he saw that there was almost no one on the Zhuang wall, Liu Laosan still commanded according to the tactical requirements.
"Up! Stay in shape! The captain of Team A immediately rushed up with his team of thirty people.
"Bang, bang, bang!" After three volleys, the shields on the gate wall of Mojiazhuang were smashed into pieces by the huge impact bullets, revealing the bare adobe courtyard wall.
The Demoman then ran up with a one-kilogram bag of explosives, lit the fuse, and ran backwards as hard as he could. After he ran more than ten zhang away, there was a "boom", and the thick village gate was blown down, and even the village walls on both sides were blown down more than a zhang wide.
"Team B, take a shortcut to block the back door. Team C and Team D will enter the village with Team A. Control the owner and ensure that the property in the village is not lost. Liu Laosan commanded decisively.
"Rush, rush into the village!" The A squad at the front was the first to charge.
"Lay down your arms!" "Surrender on your knees!" The soldiers of the Dengzhou Army controlled all the houses and ordered the people of Zhuangnei to come out and surrender.
"Boom!" The doors of the Mo family who refused to open the door and surrender were blown open by grenades one by one, and the people inside were immediately arrested.
"I surrender! Official, I surrender! As soon as Mo Sanwa'er heard the shouts of the officials and soldiers outside, she immediately opened the door of her room.
Although he is also surnamed Mo, speaking of which, he is still Mo Xiao'an's nephew who has not produced five suits, but the wealth and glory of the Mo family have nothing to do with him. After the death of his blind old lady, he became an old bastard who couldn't find the next meal after eating the last meal.
It's not enough to say that his house is a family with four walls. In addition, the door made of his few broken bamboo pieces is really unstoppable, so it is best to simply open the door and surrender.
Two quarters of an hour later, more than 200 people in the entire Mojiazhuang were gathered. Everyone was terrified and trembled, afraid that this group of officers and soldiers would rob and kill people.
Mo Sanwa'er was the same, he peeked at the heavily armed Dengzhou Army soldiers, and suddenly his crotch was hot, and a stream of urine squirted out.
"Folks! Don't be afraid! We were sent by the Loyal Lord to rescue you. Liu Laosan found a table and jumped up, shouting at everyone.
"This Mo Xiao'an, for the rich is not benevolent, and has always bullied the villagers! Let's correct it! Liu Laosan beckoned, and the two soldiers put Mo Xiao, who was gagged, up.
"Cut this dog thief!" As soon as Liu Laosan waved his hand, the big knife in the soldier's hand waved, and Mo Xiao'an's dog head rolled to the ground.
"This is the end of stubborn resistance!" Liu Laosan finally pointed to Mo Xiao'an's head and shouted.
