Chapter 144: The People's War
"Dog leftover, I'm your father, your mother is looking forward to you coming home, your eyes are blind, go home quickly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The government said, you just need to go home, the government will not hold you accountable, and will give you the land, go home quickly! An old voice shouted.
"Sanwazi, I am your daughter-in-law, your son can already call him dad, he will laugh when he hears me let him call dad, you go home quickly, the government has allocated land to us, I can't plant it." A young woman called.
"Dad."
"Big Cow."
……
Many relatives of the bandits appeared at the foot of the mountain, calling relatives and friends to persuade the bandits on the mountain to return home.
At the same time, dozens of loud people were found to shout to the mountains day and night, explaining the policies, which were nothing more than meritorious service awards, surrender and exemption, and death for those who resisted.
Such a powerful military and political pressure is not something that everyone can bear. Of the more than 1,000 bandits, only more than 200 were the backbone, and the rest were the people they had brought in, and they refused to hold out for three months and lose their lives.
In less than five days, half of the bandits on the mountain secretly descended the mountain and surrendered to the government.
Ma Yanxi and the others were scared. But they couldn't stop the bandits who were going down the mountain.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer bandits in the mountains, they are also losing confidence more and more. It's not that they don't want to break through, but they retreat when they see the dense swords, guns, bows and arrows behind the high fence. In the end, they all surrendered under the condition that the government promised to guarantee the safety of their lives.
The entire siege operation lasted only nine days, and there were no casualties among the people participating in the siege.
There were 900 people in the Liang Bin Department in Yanchang County and 450 people in the Zhao Danian Department in Fuzheng County, and the fate of the two bandits, like them, was all resolved in less than ten days.
After the large bandits were resolved. Hou Junji divided 10,000 officers and soldiers into ten teams and stationed them in each county of Yanzhou. Each team dispatched 200 officers and men, divided into 20 groups, to disperse to places where bandits might be infested, to reconnoiter in disguise, and once they found traces of bandits, they immediately notified the officers and soldiers of the brigade to encircle and suppress them.
This is not counting, the county government of Yanzhou organized manpower, entered all the residential areas, organized the protection of armor, and one guarantee for ten households. Bandits must not be hidden, and strangers must be reported. Residents are encouraged to report to each other, and if the report is true, the whistleblower can get half of the family property of the person being reported.
Whenever someone hides bandits, 10 families are punished together.
At the same time, bandits are encouraged to make meritorious contributions, and those who report other hidden bandits will be rewarded, and those who capture other bandits will be rewarded with land.
Now, everyone reported it, and all the bandits had no place to stand.
The entire clean-up operation lasted 14 days, and a total of 4,124 bandits were annihilated, captured, and surrendered. In this way, in less than half a month, the bandits on the ground in Yanzhou were completely wiped out.
Great victory!
When the victory arrived in Chang'an City, Li Shimin was overjoyed and sighed: "The power of this people's war is really too great. ”
The success of the anti-bandit operation in Yanzhou has provided successful experience for the suppression of bandits in various parts of Datang. It is expected that the improvement of public order in Datang will be realized as soon as possible.
Huangling County (central county) is rich in coal resources, with proven geological reserves of 2.73 billion tons, and is one of the 33 key coal-producing counties in China and one of the four major coalfields in Shaanxi Province.
In the northwest of Central County, Che Village, Diantou Town.
Li Su is not very clear about the specific location of the coal mine in Central County (Huangling County), he found from Baidu, about two kilometers northwest of the county seat, he led the officials of the Ministry of Industry and craftsmen, and walked in this direction.
There is only one trail here, and vehicles cannot drive. Li Su and the others rode on horseback. As he walked, he beat a drum in his heart. He didn't know exactly where the coal was or how deep it was buried. If he leads a large group of people and can't find a coal mine, this person will lose a lot of money.
As he walked, he looked through a telescope and noticed that there were several families not far ahead. So he rode over.
In front of a house on the side of the road, there were two children under the age of 10, a man and a woman, the older being a boy, who were playing. Seeing a large group of strangers coming, the two children were a little frightened, so they hid in the house.
Li Su motioned for the team to stop, he dismounted himself, and walked over, Yang Kang was not at ease and followed closely.
When Li Su arrived at the door, he knew that the children must be eavesdropping behind the door, so he asked, "Children, where are the adults in your family?" ”
The child inside was silent.
Li Su smiled and said: "Children, I have delicious food here, don't be afraid, I'll throw it in for you." With that, he threw in a few pieces of fruit candy through the crack in the old door.
He said, "It's called a candy cube, and it's very sweet, you see, it's going to be eaten like this." With that, he took a few steps back, stood where he could see inside, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.
After a while, a boy's voice came from inside, saying, "Sister, you taste it, it's very sweet." ”
After a while, the door opened, and the boy walked out.
Li Su asked gently, "Little friend, where are the adults in your family?" ”
The boy said, "Daddy, they went down to the ground." ”
Li Su took a piece of coal from Yang Kang's hand and asked, "Little friend, have you ever seen this thing?" ”
The little boy looked at it and said, "This is called a poison stone, and there are so many on the hillside not far from here." ”
Li Su took out another handful of candy cubes, handed them to the little boy, and said, "Can you show us where this poisonous stone is?" ”
The little boy took the hands of others and said, "I'll take you there." As he spoke, he said to the girl in the house, "Little sister, I will take my uncles to the back slope, and you don't go out at home." As he spoke, he took Li Su and the others to the hillside not far behind.
Sure enough, there was a lot of oxidized coal on the hillside. Li Su asked people to dig down, and below was a thick coal seam.
Found it, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Li Su asked Ma Ming, the central county commander, to requisition 500 acres of surrounding land and began to settle down.
With the help of Ma Ming, the county magistrate, Li Su recruited a hundred local workers and, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Industry, began to build houses in preparation for coal mining.
Soon, coal began to be produced from the mine.
Li Su stayed here for a month, guiding the construction of coal mines, roads and other infrastructure.
In mid-May, Li Su returned to Chang'an City.
On the second day back to Chang'an City, King Liang's Mansion.
Li Su slept until noon and was about to have lunch, when the crown prince Li Chengqian sent someone to invite him, saying that there was something important to discuss.
Soon after, the East Palace.
The crown prince Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Chong are all there, as well as the crown prince Zhang Xuansu.
When Li Chengqian saw Li Su, he said excitedly: "Sixth brother, grab the fox's tail." ”
