Chapter 172: Five Worms
After half a month, news came from the direction of Yilong, and the local tyrants Yuan Tao, Hu Jiusi and others led their troops to return to the Great Western Army.
Then came the news that Liu Jinzhong, the governor of the Great Western Army, adopted the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and led an army of 10,000 to approach Yilong to cut off the back road of the volunteers.
Liu Jinzhong was able to gather 10,000 troops this time, mainly because the Hanzhong He Zhen Department attacked Guanzhong, and the pressure in the Hanzhong direction disappeared, and now Zhao Ronggui can help him to assist in the defense of Baoning Mansion, so that he can concentrate the main force down the Jialing River and attack Pengzhou.
Above the lobby, although everyone expected that the Great Western Army was encircling Wei to save Zhao, everyone had two opinions, some thought that Pengzhou communicated with Bazhou, even if they knew that the other party was encircling Wei to save Zhao, they needed to lead their troops to meet it.
Since the other party surrounded Wei to save Zhao, of course Yang Lin would not be fooled.
After thinking about it, Ling Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie led their cavalry battalions to Yilong to attack the back road of the local tyrant so that they could not attack the city with all their strength, while Yang Lin stayed in Bazhou to stabilize order.
In order to stabilize social order, the 3,000 captured local tyrants were screened, and the verdict was openly pronounced and more than 20 heinous local tyrants were publicly pronounced and killed.
The remaining local tyrants were screened, and more than 1,000 strong men were selected to be incorporated into the army, so that the rest were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and even if someone wanted to make trouble, there was nothing they could do.
For the remaining 2,000 people, most of them were repatriated to the place where they were registered, and they were taken care of by the local township chief and the patriarch of the family, and carried out farming.
The remaining 300-odd and recalcitrant prisoners will be sent to re-education through labor.
Now Yang Lin is increasingly discovering the benefits of RTL, and for those who are potentially unstable in society, RTL is being tried through simple trials.
Anyway, after several years of re-education through labor, the sharp angle of the other party will be erased, and after the re-education through labor is released, a certain amount of money and food will be given, so that the other party can also support his family.
In addition to all of the above, advocacy is also very important.
Yang Lin repeatedly declared that the rebellion of the local rioters, in addition to the rebellion of Huang Long, Yuan Tao and others, and bewitched the people, was mainly the local five beetles in the past.
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan officials bullied the people, and some good people changed Han Fei's five beetles to local five pests, referred to as five beetles.
The local five beetles are mainly government officials, royal ministers, powerful tribes, officials, and scholars who exploit the township.
No, the villagers came to report, claiming that Wangjiagou not only occupied an area of hundreds of thousands (tens of thousands of acres) and supported more than 100 people, but also colluded with Huang Long, the leader of Yao and Huang, to oppress the people.
Gao Yunlin, the governor of Bazhou, immediately sent a government officer, sent an official document, and summoned Wang Yuanwai to come to the yamen to listen to the trial.
The official Li Ergou and his entourage came to Wangjiagou timidly, waited for a long time before coming to the small courtyard, and when they saw the summons document, the reception housekeeper was furious and tore up the official document.
It is claimed that the Wang family was born as an official eunuch, and his ancestor once served as the political envoy of Sanpinbu, and he was a famous family in Bazhou.
Wang Yuanwai is a talented person, with a meritorious reputation, and a radius of dozens of miles is the land of the Wang family.
In the past, when officials took office, they needed to visit a famous family like the Wang family first, but now it is good that after the recovery of Bazhou, he actually sent an official document and directly summoned Wang Yuan to the court.
The official was beaten back with a stick, and the new governor Wang Guangxian was terrified and sent the collected denunciation documents to the camp, pleading for a verdict.
After carefully looking at the case file and summoning several people, this Wang Yuanwai is probably a typical five beetles, local gentry, and supporting his family to endanger the place.
Scholars, relying on the courtesy of the Ming Dynasty to scholars, committed evil in the local area, and could easily escape the judgment of the government.
colluded with the officials and local officials to become a local tyrant.
Immediately, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the 9th Battalion to lead the troops into the suppression.
Since the occupation of Bazhou, the Volunteer Army has expanded its army again, including the Escort Battalion, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th Battalions have been expanded into two battalions.
The 8th and 9th battalions are fully staffed.
Under these circumstances, Yang Lin decided to form a regiment on a military unit like a battalion.
This is not something that Yang Lin did on purpose, there was already such a group in ancient times.
During the Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty in China, the army was organized by regiments. When the Sui Dynasty army set out, it was composed of 100 people, 20 infantry teams, and 10 cavalry teams. The Tang Dynasty government soldiers had 300 soldiers per regiment.
In this way, it seems that the regiment is basically the same as the battalion establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and after thinking about it, Yang Lin still decided to adopt the modern army establishment.
That is, regiments, battalions, brigades, squadrons, and squads.
The 9th Battalion of Ma Mingluan's headquarters has just been fully established, but its headquarters are all elite and strong generals, and its combat strength is far from being comparable to that of ordinary landlords.
Wang Yuanwai relied on the dangerous terrain and had many subordinates, and he wanted to resist stubbornly.
Who would have thought that Ma Mingluan's department had five tiger squat cannons, lined up on a small hill in front of the cottage, and then concentrated their firepower on the cottage.
How could everyone have encountered such fierce firepower, and there was chaos on the cottage.
And Yang Yongtai personally led a brigade to climb the cliff and go up, killing from the back mountain, facing the landlord armed with empty defense, everyone was like entering a no-man's land.
The landlords on the mountain were in chaos, but the general trend had gone, taking this opportunity Ma Mingluan to lead the main force to kill from the cottage, everyone did not dare to resist at all, and many people threw down their weapons and fled.
Although Wang Yuanwai wanted to escape, he was reluctant to have the gold, silver and jewelry at home, and was finally put on by everyone and put in a prison car and escorted into the state city.
Above the lobby, the king was arrogant, repeatedly claiming that he was born in a show and needed to be deprived of his fame before he could be judged.
Wang Guangxian was furious, and several officials rushed up and jerked at his mouth, and after knocking out two teeth, he no longer had the previous majesty, and the whole person knelt in the hall and begged for mercy.
Seeing each other look like such a bear, everyone felt funny.
Several scholars rushed out, counted each other's sins for a while, and said that they were swept away and unkind to the rich.
It took only two days for the incriminating evidence to be basically asphalt.
On the surface, this king is an official gentry, but he does all kinds of evil, not only colluding with Yao Huang to bring disaster to the place, but also encroaching on people's land, seeking people's money, and harming people's lives.
Taking advantage of the national policy to steal and plunder, the imperial court stipulated that the tax on scholars was exempted, and this royal member relied on his talent status to bully and dominate the market in the local area, and he occupied 10,000 acres of land and did not pay it.
On the day of the execution, people were everywhere on both sides of the road, escort vehicles passed by, and the people applauded one after another, and everyone threw all kinds of garbage on the king's head.
After that, the yamen announced that all property except for the king's staff would be confiscated.
The 20,000 acres of cleared land will be distributed to the tenant farmers in the past as official land, and only 4 buckets of rice will be needed per mu of paddy field in good years, and 3 buckets of wheat will be needed on dry land.
Hundreds of houses were demolished and distributed to tenant farmers, who only had to pay the money for the sale within five years
…….
At first, Liu Liangchang, who participated in the politics of eastern Sichuan, thought that there would be chaos, but what was surprising was that when the army arrived, these landlords' armed forces collapsed.
At first, some landlord leaders who were about to move around petitioned again and again, claiming that the punishment was too severe, but after seeing the heads of the king's outsiders fall to the ground, they lashed loudly one by one, claiming that their crimes were extremely evil.
Liu Liangchang watched this scene, and heard that the volunteers had confiscated money from the Wang family, and the silver was worth more than 20,000 taels and tens of thousands of taels of grain, which was really enviable.
I heard that this is not all, in order to appease the people, after the occupation of Wangjiazhai, in order to appease the people, the officials and soldiers distributed grain to the people, and the tenant farmers in the past, one load per ding, fully issued six or seven thousand loads.
It was bloody and bloody outside, Liu Liangchang wanted to admonish, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to watch and wait for Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, to respond.
After half a month, the situation in Bazhou gradually stabilized, and the remnants of the local rioters were gradually eliminated.
