Chapter 13: Straight to the Lair

Along the way, the stars and leopards complained bitterly, one by one out of breath, although everyone looted for a living, but their endurance was far worse than that of the croppers, and they couldn't outrun each other at all.

Some of the old, weak, sick and disabled have long been unable to run, panting and lying on the side of the road, although the body is slightly stronger, although trotting all the way, but there are many people, everyone is crowded together, can not run at all, from time to time by the villagers to copy the path to cut off.

There was no way, everyone had to break it into pieces, and Liang Leopard ran at the front with a few cronies, and the back let those old, weak, sick and disabled people block everyone a little.

Trotting all the way to the Tiger Ditch, the star Liang Leopard looked at the deep canyon and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he crossed the Tiger Ditch in less than a few miles to walk the Bamiao Mountain, he arrived at his own territory.

Looking at the only ten people around him, he didn't expect that this time he would be so miserable, Liang Bao vowed to make a comeback, and when the time came, he would definitely let Yang Lin make the people of Luojiabao a hundred times the price.

Before he had walked a few steps, he suddenly saw Taniguchi rushing out of several people to shoot arrows with bows and arrows from a distance, and before everyone could react, they shot more than ten arrows, although the crosshairs were slightly worse, but they still killed and injured two or three people.

In order to block the other party, Yang Wei carefully selected more than ten people, most of whom could shoot a stone with a hard bow.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually had an ambush at the mouth of the valley, Liang Bao and the others were shocked and did not dare to rush to kill the other party, in a vain attempt to kill the other party and flee into the valley.

But the other party seemed to find out what he was thinking, and when he saw that the local thug was killed, he didn't dodge at all, and everyone had a life-for-life style of play, especially the strong man at the front was not only tall and strong, but also had a blade in his hand that directly blocked Liang Leopard's way, and there was no chance to escape at all.

Guo Tianxing was horrified, the other party waited for work, and his kung fu was even more above himself, and he was a little careless and slashed at the handle of his right arm and fell to the ground, and finally although he wanted to turn around and escape, he was still caught by Yang Wei.

A cool breeze blew through Dongfang Tubai, and after a night of fighting and round-up, the price was also very heavy, and the surrounding villagers not only died four or five in a fierce battle, but also injured more than ten, and several houses were burned down.

In addition to the more than 20 fish that slipped through the net, more than 60 thieves, including Liang Leopard, who had crossed the sky, were killed or captured, which was a hearty victory for the loyal and righteous army, which had just been formed for less than half a month.

Looking at the Liang Leopard and its main minions tied into zongzi, the villagers were very sad and angry, and Long Zhijiao cried and shouted to avenge the villagers in the clan, and he would open the stomach of the Tianxing to sacrifice the dead.

Yang Lin stood in the crowd wearing a green robe, stepping on bronze boots, and carrying a bird gun on his back, and saw that there were villagers on various hills around, with nearly a thousand people, and the eight temple mountain tyrants were only more than 200 people, and now most of their young and strong people have been exterminated, and there are probably some old, weak, sick and disabled people on the mountain.

As the saying goes, the courage to beat the water dogs, now the star, Liang Leopard and other leaders are dead, wounded, wounded, captives fleeing, and now there are no leaders on the mountain, why not get rid of this cancer in one go?

Yang Lin pointed to Guo Tianxing Liang Leopard and the others who were tied into zongzi and said: "Fellow villagers, as the saying goes, everything is done to eliminate evil, Guo Tianxing Liang Leopard and other bandit leaders have been arrested, and now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people on Bamiao Mountain, why don't we destroy the den of the earth tyrant in one go?" Reclaim the property that was taken by the thugs? ”

Some people were quite worried at first, but after hearing Yang Lin announce that he would distribute half of the property of the local tyrant to the meritorious personnel, everyone raised their hoes and shovels and cheered loudly.

Although everyone is quite tired, but everyone is mostly a farmer, what is the fatigue of this little tired? Now hearing Yang Lin say this, they all claim that it is.

According to Lijia, the villagers were divided into five brigades, led by Yang Wei, Long Zhijiao and others, while Yang Lin and Yang Cheng led the most elite two hundred people to coordinate in the middle, and everyone marched towards Bamiao Mountain.

Along the way, the villagers heard that the leader of the local tyrants was captured, and Yang Lin, the talented prince, now led the villagers to attack Bamiao Mountain, and then joined one after another, and in the end they gathered more than 2,000 people.

At first, I was worried that there was a vicious battle, but after hearing that Liang Leopard was captured, there was chaos in the cottage, although a few of the remaining guards resisted stubbornly, but the trees fell and scattered, and some people felt that the general trend had gone and fled.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen, more than 30 people were first sent as suspicious soldiers to make a feint to attract the firepower of the local tyrants.

The local tyrant on the mountain was terrified and desperately shot arrows and crossbows and threw stones down the mountain, so that after the two pillars of incense kung fu finally figured out the situation of the local tyrant on the mountain, Long Zhijiao led twenty death squads to suddenly kill.

The local thugs were caught off guard, and the defense line was quickly torn apart, and everyone had to rely on the terrain advantage to defend.

Yang Cheng led more than 30 death squads to copy the path into the mountains, and after a fierce battle, the local rioters on the mountain were in chaos, and after a fierce battle, the civilian army defeated the local rioters and controlled the cottage.

Liang Leopard has been operating Bamiao Mountain for several years, and there are a lot of accumulations on the mountain, just two taels of silver are enough to have two thousand taels, plus other rare treasures, grain and baggage, etc., converted into more than seven thousand taels of silver.

With money, other things are very easy to do

The war dead and the seriously wounded will receive a pension of 20 taels of silver, and the lightly wounded will receive 3-10 taels of silver

Those who participated in the death squad were rewarded with 3-5 taels of silver, and the general public was rewarded with 5 to 1 taels of silver, so a total of 2,000 taels of silver was spent.

You can receive the silver directly, or you can also convert it in kind, anyway, you can't let the villagers suffer in the reward.

The remaining silver, rare treasures, grain and baggage were also registered, and people were hired to transport them back to Luojiabao for military training

The villagers who got the reward applauded loudly, everyone turned their faces to the yellow mud and turned their backs to the sky, and they couldn't dig a few taels of silver in the ground all year round, and they couldn't think of earning so much silver in one day, and they were grateful.

After disposing of the property and then disposing of the prisoners, the leaders such as Liang Leopard have their own government to deal with them, and Yang Lin does not need to worry, as a local squire, the most important thing is how to deal with those little minions.

In troubled times, the focus was on the ancient treatment of captured bandits, just like these, even if they didn't kill their heads, they would probably be exiled.

These men knelt on the ground and wept all over their faces, claiming that they were all coerced by the earthly tyrants of the heavens, and that they were also victims.

One by one, they cried and demanded only one thing, that is, they could not give themselves to the government.

Some villagers crossed their hands and angrily accused each other of being lazy and trying to rely on local thugs to get something for nothing, while others sighed.

On the surface, the Ming Dynasty was light on the light, but in recent years, there were many escapes in various places, and the imperial court added three salaries, and after the implementation of a whip law, the government no longer levied grain but only silver, so that each mu of paddy field was increased from 5 liters to 2 buckets stipulated by the imperial court, and the dry land increased from 3 liters to 1 bucket, and everyone was miserable.

The opinions of everyone were polarized, and after thinking of the history of the Sichuan Massacre, Yang Lin couldn't bear it in his heart, and after thinking about it, he would definitely carry out labor reform on these prisoners.

In previous years, many countries had set up labor camps and used prisoners to undergo labor camps in order to exercise their ability to survive.

Now there is a lot of wasteland in various places, and each of them has a wasteland, and according to the size of the merit, those captives who have been coerced are scattered and distributed to each lijia, and they are under the management of the first chief.

The captives were punished for the reclamation of wasteland, and within the next ten years they could be freed if they were able to pay 50 loads of food.

This is purely treating the captives as slaves, and I just felt that my cheeks were hot, who knew that the other party was elated when they heard that they didn't need to be sent to the government, and everyone kowtowed again and again and called Lord Qingtian.

Someone had already prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write the note, and the prisoner pressed the handprint to draw it, and the note was kept in duplicate in the hands of the first chief, and the other in the hands of the prisoner.

In addition to the enthusiastic response of the villagers in Qixiang and Bali, what is even more surprising is that those who read books, now after seeing the soldiers smash the Tianxing Liang Leopard that has been a disaster for several years in one fell swoop, everyone's opinions have turned 180 degrees.
