Chapter 402: The Xingren Mansion where chickens fly and dogs jump
When Lin Chong subdued Xu Jing and Wang Huan, he went out of Hedong from Fukou, and the divine soldiers descended from heaven to defeat Handan to rest, replenish the grain and grass, and quickly went south with 8,000 cavalry, Gao Yu also drove to Xingren Mansion on Jingdong Road with the army of bandits.
This time, Gao Yu and Chen Guan Chen Taiwei soldiers were divided into two ways, Gao Yu led 20,000 elite imperial camps and the former Flying Dragon General Yumei, the former Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng, and the 800,000 forbidden army Du Jiao, the official took Zuo Yiwei to command the pro-army envoy and escort the general Qiu Yue; The deputy head of the 800,000 forbidden army, the commander of the right righteous guard pro-army, and the general Zhou Ang; Wang Wenbin, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and Hu Chun, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, accompanied the battle.
Then there were Duan Pengju, the supervisor of Suizhou soldiers and horses, Chen Zhu, the supervisor of Zhengzhou soldiers and horses, Wu Bingyi, the supervisor of Chenzhou soldiers and horses, Li Ming, the supervisor of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, Ma Wanli, the commander of Ruzhou soldiers and horses, Mei Zhan, the envoy of Yingzhou Runan Jiedu, and Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses attacked the garrisons of the Liangshan Army in Jeju and Yunzhou, and wiped out or drove the Liangshan Army into Shuibo.
Then Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jinling Jiankang Mansion, led 15,000 sailors to enter Liangshanbo from the Beiqing River, and 100,000 soldiers and horses thundered and leveled Liangshan.
The remaining 110,000 soldiers and horses of the Badu Prison and the Ten Sections were commanded by Chen Guan and went north to intercept and encircle the main force of the 40,000 Liangshan Army led by Lin Chong.
At this time, Gao Yu's 90,000 "army" had reached 60,000, and he was a little far away from the Ruzhou soldiers and horses who were a little far away, and Mei Zhan, the envoy of Yingzhou Runanjiedu, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu.
Since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, this time the imperial court made a great determination to use 200,000 troops to completely wipe out the Liangshan army, which shows the importance it attaches to the Liangshan army.
Therefore, Gao Yu did not underestimate the enemy, and while waiting for the other three soldiers and horses to come to converge in Xingren Mansion, Gao Yu also sent a large number of spies to Ji and Yun Prefectures to spy on the military situation, and at the same time ordered people to collect grain and grass in Xingren Mansion to prepare for a protracted battle with the Liangshan army.
It's just that in this way, the entire Xingren Mansion has suffered.
You must know that there is a saying that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. At this time, the Song army, whether it was the Western Army, the Dumen Forbidden Army, or the Forbidden Army in various places, the military discipline was quite bad.
For example, the original book of the Water Margin has this description: "The vegetable garden behind the retreat to the house outside the sour jujube gate is often broken by the soldiers in the camp and the twenty or so broken households outside the door, and they often come to infringe, indulge the sheep and horses, and make a good life." An old monk was there as an abbot, and there dared to take care of him. Why don't you teach Zhishen to go there to the abbot......"
The soldiers in the camp mentioned here refer to the Dumen Forbidden Army, the Imperial Camp soldiers and horses, and the cavalry army, because of the "indulgence of sheep and horses", it can be seen that even if these forbidden troops are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they often disturb the people and harm the people.
At this time, he was ordered to go down to various places to collect grain, how could he let go of this good opportunity to loot in an open and honest manner?
For a time, the entire Xingren Mansion was full of chickens and dogs, and countless people were killed. Food was forcibly requisitioned, family property was robbed by fishing in troubled waters, and even some big girls and little daughters-in-law were molested and even insulted.
On the contrary, the landlords and wealthy businessmen of Xingren Mansion saw the opportunity quickly, and they did not need the officials and soldiers to rob them, they automatically prepared the money, grain and grass, and smashed their teeth to meet the requirements of these military masters, which was regarded as spending money to buy peace.
"Straight lady thief, this is really an official like a bandit, but a bandit is like an official. Since the rise of the Liangshan Army, although at the beginning of Jeju and Yunzhou punished the rich and unkind and evil-doers, they attacked Zhuangzi to rob the rich and help the poor, which frightened many people.
But the Liangshan army did not have such a door-to-door scourge, caught a few typical chickens and monkeys and never did it again, and then the military discipline was strict, and the autumn did not commit any crimes to the extreme, and began to build bridges and pave roads, and greatly revitalized water conservancy to benefit one party.
But as soon as the imperial army came, they directly opened their mouths and knocked away two or three percent of our property, isn't this a thief wearing official clothes? Counting it, it's better to count Liang Shanjun......"
All the landlords and wealthy merchants in Xingren Mansion couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and many even had the idea of hoping that the Liangshan army would defeat the imperial army like last time.
Compared with the rich who can spend money to buy peace and have enough money to feed these officers and soldiers, ordinary middle-aged families and poor families are not so lucky.
Some people's only rations were snatched away, or the female relatives of the family were molested and insulted, and some young and vigorous descendants could not bear it anymore and scuffled and quarreled with these officers and men, and in the chaotic conflict, a small number of officers and men of the forbidden army were wounded and killed.
However, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and the army was a fully armed organ of state violence, even though the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army had long been in ruins except for the Western Army, but it was still more than enough to deal with the common people.
Therefore, in more conflicts, these people suffer more.
It has only been less than two days, and there are no less than 20 young and strong people who have been killed and disabled in the entire Xingren Mansion, and there are more than hundreds of women who have been harassed and molested.
Whether rich or poor, in the past two days, the entire Xingren Mansion has been full of complaints.
"Gao Yu is high! God, why don't you open your eyes and take in this gang of robbers...... I hate, I knew that today, I should have let Xiaosi go to Liangshan to join the army...... I regret it......"
In Chengshi County, Xingren Prefecture, an old man with gray hair sat at the door of his house, holding his son's bloodstained body and gradually stiffening, and was scolding Gao Yu and the officials who came to collect grain and grass.
It turned out that the old man's wife died, and he only relied on this only son for his life, because the family background was acceptable, the old man urinated since he was a child, just like Shi Taigong did to Shi Jin, and invited many martial artists to teach his son martial arts.
Before the rise of the Liangshan Army, especially after the conquest of the army by hundreds of two courts, it began to publicize high-profile and recruit talents everywhere, and the son of the old man wanted to join the Liangshan Army with enthusiasm to do a great career.
But the old man is such a son, how can he be willing to let him do this kind of rebellion and killing his head? Therefore, the fourth child did not succeed.
The officers and soldiers who requisitioned the grain this time came to their house, and somehow had a dispute with Xiao Si, who was forty-seven or eighteen years old, full of enthusiasm, and had learned martial arts for a few years, so he scolded this group of officers and soldiers for being the real robbers, but the Liangshan Army was the one who loved the people like children!
The officers and soldiers who requisitioned the grain naturally did not want to reason with him, and the two sides fought without saying a word, because this little four had practiced martial arts for a few years, he actually beat the head of the team down as soon as he made a move, and the blood flowed, and then the head of the army was angry, and this person was a Liangshan thief, and directly ordered the knife to be moved.
You must know that no matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, and besides, this little four has not met a famous teacher, but he has only learned some fighting methods, how to be the opponent of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and he was hacked to death with a knife in two clicks.
The old man lost his beloved son, and at this time he had no scruples, but he just held his son's body and scolded for nearly an hour, fainted several times in heartbreak, and continued to scold when he woke up.
Such a miserable scene, even the officers and soldiers passing by did not dare to come to look for trouble at this time; And the onlookers just shook their heads and sighed after trying to persuade them to no avail, and they talked about it.
It wasn't until a long time later that a man who looked like a merchant came over and said a word to the old man, who was already crying hoarsely and still cursing in a hoarse voice, that he stopped.
"Uncle mourns, our Liangshan Army will definitely avenge you......"
