Chapter 115: The Miserable Life of the People of Lingzhou
"Thank you, Captain, for avenging us!"
I cried for half a salary, until the battle was completely over, and Du Bai and others also jumped off the horse, and these villagers and people reacted, knelt down and kowtowed to Du Bai and others.
After the killing, Du Yan's anger finally calmed down slightly, and he hurriedly helped the oldest old man up, and asked the other sergeants to help the remaining villagers up.
Seeing that the groom and several villagers were injured, he hurriedly called someone to find a doctor, and asked the soldiers to simply bandage and wrap their wounds with the bandages and gold sore medicine they had brought with them.
After finishing this, Du Yan said loudly: "Everyone misunderstood, we are not the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, we are the Liangshan army who walks for the sky." ”
These villagers were stunned for a moment, Liang Shanjun? What kind of army is this? Haven't heard of it?
At this time, Yun Zhi, the instructor of the Ma Army of the Beiwei Army, came in handy, and immediately began to simply publicize it to everyone: Our Liangshan Army is a team to support the Great Song Dynasty and corrupt officials, a team to do the way for heaven, and a team to protect the people.
As soon as they heard Yun Zhi finish speaking, these villagers became more and more excited, and knelt down towards Yun Zhi and Du Yan again.
"King, you have to make decisions for us, this Zeng Tou City has bullied us miserably for decades!"
Du Yan asked them to help them up again, and then said: "How did they oppress you, can you be specific?" ”
At that moment, these people immediately talked and cried while telling about the atrocities in Zengtou City, and it was the local local accent, and Du Yan didn't really hear it, so he let the gray-haired old man speak one by one, and everyone else stopped.
"They're a bunch of brutes! They were originally a group of merchants from the Liao Kingdom, who took root here more than 40 years ago, and were quite honest at the beginning, knowing that they were in a foreign land, and there were few of them, so they were honest and polite to us.
Later, roughly their people couldn't live in Liao, and our life here was better, and more and more Jurchen fans came here, and there were more and more of them, so they often had conflicts with our local people, and they fought lawsuits from time to time.
After that, they found a way and began to raise horses for our Great Song Dynasty, and they began to swallow up our fields everywhere, buying and selling by force, and if they didn't sell them, they would let the horses go to the fields to eat our crops, or they would beat people to death when they found an opportunity......"
Yun Zhi was so angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "Why are you so useless, no one takes you to do it with them?" ”
The old man cried and said, "O king, we haven't tried, but they all have good horses, and when there are fewer people to ride on horses, they will run away, and then Hula can gather hundreds or thousands of cavalry, we are all crops, how can we be their opponents?" Even if they are self-defending, they can't help but go out, and as soon as they go out, they are surrounded by a group of cavalry! ”
Du Yan's military theory is higher than that of Yun Zhi, and he naturally knows the advantage of cavalry over the farming nation, that is, if he wins, he will fight, and if he can't win, he can run, unless he can end their nest; Or fight in formation, relying on strong bows, crossbows and spears like a forest, to lure the opponent to attack and defeat it, otherwise you will not win at all.
But these crop-style villagers obviously don't have this ability, so Du Yan frowned and said, "Won't you sue the government together?" ”
The old man cried and said: "King, it's not that we haven't gone to sue, it's just that all of them are foreign countries (at this time, it also refers to the Liao State, and the Liao people can walk sideways in Bianjing City) overseas Chinese, and the government does not dare to offend easily;
The two of them raise horses for the government, and the forbidden armies of all states have to buy their horses, not only the Lingzhou government, but also the neighboring state governments are so good that they wear a pair of pants, how can they be the masters of our little people? ”
Du Yan sighed and stopped talking, he already knew that Da Song was weak, but he didn't expect this group of "foreign nationals" in Zengtou City to be so unscrupulous and fearless.
The old man paused, and then continued: "After that, they became more and more excessive, and not only robbed us of our fields, but rushed to our villages at every turn, asking for food and goods; Or they force us to work for them without paying them.
Especially since last year, I heard that the 20,000 Jurchen barbarians in their northern clan defeated the 700,000 Liaogou army, and this gang has become more and more lawless, beating and killing people at every turn, and molesting the women of our Han people, there is nothing evil they dare not do.
If you meet someone who has a red and white wedding event, then it is over, it is light to take the opportunity to extort money and property, it is common to molest the bride and beat the groom, even if it is murder and arson, they can't do it.
We don't dare to beat gongs and drums for happy events here, but even so, we were bumped into by them today......"
Du Yan really couldn't listen to it anymore, with a "swish", he took out the Uzi steel treasure knife on his waist, and slashed the corpse of a herdsman in Zengtou City, and cut the guy into two at once, and heard Du Yan say angrily: "Fuck it, this group of dog tartars eat us and wear us, but in the end they raise a group of white-eyed wolves!" This dog is really cowardly!
You see, on the fifth day, my Liangshan army will definitely raze this Zengtou City for you, and catch Zeng Lane in front of you, and let you dispose of it! ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, happy and stunned, and only after half a salary did they react, and they couldn't help but cry, and knelt down again to thank Liang Shanjun for his kindness.
Du Yan asked people to help them up again, and he said good words to appease them, and he heard the old man react, and said in disbelief: "King, there are many people and horses in this Zengtou City, and there are 7,000 soldiers and horses, among which there are 4,000 horsemen with horses, and you ...... You guys...... Are there enough people? ”
Du Yan said with a deep face: "Don't worry, fellow, my Liangshan army has more than 10,000 elite soldiers and countless fierce generals, we are just the vanguard, and our military master will arrive later."
You can rest assured, our Liang Shanjun is a good talker, you wait to see the result, within five days, we will definitely set foot in Zengtou City, unless Zeng has committed suicide, otherwise we will definitely arrest him and hand him over to you within five days! ”
At this time, he heard the two horsemen galloping from the rear, and reported that Lin Chong and Li Tianyan's brigade had been less than ten miles from there, and ordered Shi Qian to wait here, leading the large army to Shi Qian's selected campsite, while Du Yi continued to lead the Beiwei horse army to sweep the periphery of Zengtou City and keep in touch at any time.
At that moment, Du Yan hurriedly ordered people to clean up the battlefield briefly, and asked the old man to quickly take the villagers back to the village, and if he was willing, he would send some strong descendants to the villages and Lu generals Liangshan's army to help them exterminate Zengtou City.
