Chapter 313: A soldier is not as good as a thief, salute first and then attack
Good jade is not a soldier, and people are free from thieves and officials and soldiers.
In the tug-of-war between the army and the official army, the army was nothing more than breaking the mansions of the landlords and gentry and officials, searching for gold and silver and grain. Surrounded by the countryside, the young and strong soldiers fought in the army.
At least the destitute people are still hopeful when the army is attacking, at least they can open a warehouse to release grain, and get some benefits, even if they follow the camp to fight hard, it is better than starving to death in the fields at home.
And in this Central Plains, most of them are desperately poor people, there are few solid homes, and the disasters of the past few years and the chaos of the imperial court have hurt the vitality everywhere.
But the army led by Zuo Liangyu does not have the concept of being local, and Zuo Liangyu is a person who is outstanding in deducting soldiers' salaries, and the soldiers' salaries and supplies have to rely on themselves to loot.
Over the years, the soldiers have been marching and fighting against the camp all the time, and their psychological state has generally become somewhat deformed and perverted, and their treatment of civilians has become more and more brutal.
When Zuo Liangyu's subordinates tortured the whereabouts of these people's assets, they generally roasted people on the fire, even if they gave the location of the family assets, they didn't let people down, they were roasted alive, and some obese people were often fated after death.
In addition to this brutal method of collecting money, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses have abducted women wherever they are, and even abducted women in villages and towns because of arsonists. Delay the pursuit of the thieves.
After the captivity of the women, when they were in the streets, and sometimes when they marched along the rivers. If they snatch the women into the boat, they will do nonsense on the boat, and if they see their husbands and brothers crying on the shore, they will immediately cut off their heads.
The scenes of the fire roasting and asking about the place where the wealth is hidden, and the scenes of lewd and plundering women, have been seen by Sun Zhiyang of Lanyang County, but this behavior was a little different at the beginning.
The Jiaozhou battalion camped at the Zhaopizhai ferry, except for training every day. He never went out of the camp, and even if he bought from the merchants in the city, he always paid according to the price.
After a few days, although these officials and people in Lanyang County were surprised, they also relaxed their vigilance, and besides, the three-day deadline for closing the city demanded by Li Meng had passed, so they simply opened the city gate.
When this partial division of the left army came to Lanyang County, the soldiers guarding the city gate thought that this army was the Shandong army, and by the time it was too late.
At first, the situation did not get out of hand. The officer who led this partial division was a guerrilla, claiming to be surnamed Zhang, and as soon as he entered the city, he first ran to the yamen of Lanyang Zhixian County to ask Zhixian County to report his merits.
The military merits of the Ming soldiers and horses need to be countersigned by the local civil officials before they take effect, and the original intention was good, that is, to let the civil servants supervise the generals, so that the military merits will not be too irrigated.
Lanyang County Ling Sun Zhiyang was young, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered when he saw this scene, but he still knew how to stick to his principles, and replied to the guerrilla and said:
"No thieves. How can this military merit be rewarded? β
The guerrilla grinned and said:
"This is easy, the county commander will wait for a while."
After a while, the cries in the city gradually became louder. It didn't take long for a soldier to come to the door of the county government with the ranks, and soon, the ranks were already piled up in a line, Lanyang County made Sun Zhiyang stunned, but looking at the broken necks of these heads, the color of the blood was still bright red, obviously just cut off. Take a closer look. But among these heads, whose faces were distorted by panic and fear, there were actually acquaintances of their own.
At the very least, there must be more than a dozen people who are county school readers. There was even a small official of the yamen who was at home on vacation today, Sun Zhiyang felt that it was dark in front of him at that time, and he felt that he couldn't stand steadily, he staggered back a few steps, stretched out his finger and pointed at the still increasing level, his lips trembled but he couldn't say a word.
Zhang, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly became fierce and shouted angrily:
"I've found you at this level, this military merit should be reported!"
Sun Zhiyang was already speechless in fright, so he could only nod again and again, and with the support of the same afraid of abnormal geography history and master, he finished writing this meritorious document together, and then stamped it with the big seal of the county order.
Originally, when the partial division of the left army entered the city, the soldiers were still a little restrained, and when they killed civilians for military merit, as soon as the bloody gas came out, the soldiers were completely uncontrollable and began to burn and loot.
The soldiers were like this, but the officers of the Left Army did not have the slightest intention of restraining and restricting, but assigned personnel to guard the city gates everywhere, preventing people from entering and leaving, so as to facilitate the soldiers to loot, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Lanyang County became a hell on earth.
At the beginning, Sun Zhiyang just sat on the main hall of the yamen, and the gate of the yamen of the county was always open, and he could see civilian men and women running past the door in horror, or being hacked to death by the soldiers of the left army who chased after him, or directly doing the beast's thing, and the bloody atmosphere in the air became thicker and thicker.
"The county magistrate, the whole family of the small one is ...... by this gang"
A county official ran to the county yamen in a panic, and before entering the door, he only had time to shout this sentence, and was cut down to the ground, and the small officer of the left army who cut him down ignored the people in the yamen and went straight away.
After a while, many people in the yamen could not stand the smell of the air that gradually became fishy, and vomited in the lobby, Sun Zhiyang stood up calmly and said to several soldiers of the Left Army guarding the door:
"This official wants to go out of the city, so as not to watch here, and it is inconvenient for you!!"
The soldiers of the left army who were guarding the gate were indignant because they couldn't rob it, and when they heard the county order to get out of the city, and said it so interestingly, they immediately let them go, and arranged for two or three people to follow the escort, no matter how rampant the left army was. These herdsmen still did not dare to kill the land.
After walking a few steps, Sun Zhiyang also spent some silver to ask for a bad horse and came out of the county officeLooking at the tragic scene on both sides of the road along the road, Sun Zhiyang was not angry or happy, but Mu Ran walked forward, and he also saw the people from the county order crying and shouting for help, which Sun Zhiyang ignored.
When he got out of the city gate, he gave a few taels of silver to the soldiers who followed him, and said that he would go to a nearby post station for refuge, and then rode away.
After leaving the city gate a few miles slowly. This Sun Zhiyang galloped in the direction of Kaifeng City, he wanted to go to Kaifeng City to find the prefect of Kaifeng, find the governor, and find someone to complain.
After running for more than ten miles, someone chased after him, it was the cavalry of the left army, Sun Zhiyang's horse was an inferior horse, and the horses of the left sergeants were good horses, and the distance was gradually getting closer, these pursuers shouted and said:
"Guerrilla Zhang is afraid that the county order will be restless. Persuade the county order to go back to the city and stay! β
This Sun Zhiyang is not a fool, he is pretending to be stupid in the county, just to get out of the city, the other party now almost feels his intentions, let himself go back to the city, who will go back.
He didn't listen, but just beat his horse and galloped wildly, and the soldiers chased after him in a hurry, and actually drew their blades on their horses, and some people drew their bows and arrows.
This is a quick shot with no accurate head. However, an arrow hit the horse **, and the arrow worked, and the horse was about to lose its strength and was shot by this arrow. Immediately he became manic, and ran forward desperately, but this time he opened up the distance.
After throwing off the pursuers behind, Sun Zhiyang's mount ran for more than half an hour and fell to the ground, but at this time, it was more than ten miles away from Kaifeng City, and Sun Zhiyang ran away, and finally took advantage of the closure of Kaifeng City. Entered Kaifeng City.
His clothes were already in tatters. After entering the city, he went to the Kaifeng prefect to complain, and Zuo Liangyu was famous in Henan Province. At present, Henan is in chaos, even if such a thing is done, there is an official of this level in Kaifeng Mansion who can manage the land, no matter how Sun Zhiyang cries blood request, Kaifeng Mansion will ignore it.
In the end, I was in a hurry, so I simply asked the official to drive out the Lanyang County Order, and also put down the words of reproach, why did Xiangfu County and Zhongmu County not suffer from the disaster, it is not that your county order is not vigilant, let General Zuo's soldiers and horses enter the city, and when the matter calms down, this official will definitely join you.
Sun Zhiyang was originally full of hatred, but he didn't expect to encounter such treatment, and went to the governor's office, and when the governor Li Xianfeng's master heard this, he also drove people out.
After tossing and turning so many times, Sun Zhiyang is really almost like a beggar, it may be that time he went to the Shandong military camp by the river, and saw the difference between the Jiaozhou battalion and the other soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, and inexplicably felt that if he went to find this Shandong General Li, he would definitely be able to make his own decisions.
Sun Zhiyang was born in the imperial examination, and came directly to Lanyang to make a county order, the person's age is young, and he is full of enthusiasm, such a tragedy, so that he has only one thought in his heart, that is, to kill these beasts and soldiers, and give the people of Lanyang a justice, this is also young and vigorous, if you have been an official for many years, you will directly close your eyes, as long as you don't move yourself, they will burn and loot.
Listening to Sun Zhiyang intermittently finish talking about the affairs of Lanyang County, the room was unusually quiet, and after half a sound, it was Wang Hai who spoke first, and he said in a low voice:
"How can there be such a beast, there is no royal law here!"
It is estimated that the soldier who came to report the news and the soldiers stationed by the river were also dumbfounded by what the left army had done, and in the Jiaozhou battalion, the military discipline requirements were extremely strict, how could he have thought that the soldiers could be so unscrupulous, and the reason why they came over so anxiously to ask how to deal with it was also a little irritable by the tragedy.
Yuan Wenhong cleared his throat and said:
"Wang Shoubei doesn't know, Zuo Liangyu's ministry is indeed acting like this, and in recent years, local civil officials have made a lot of similar impeachments, but they have all been suppressed by the imperial court."
Speaking of this, he also stopped, there are soldiers and horses all over the world, this Jiaozhou battalion is really unusual, this Li Dashuai raises such soldiers, what exactly he wants to do, but he can guess more and more.
Sun Zhiyang waited for the people in the room to finish speaking, but he didn't hear any words to go to Lanyang, and he kowtowed again in a hurry, and pleaded repeatedly:
"Ask the marshal to uphold justice for Lanyang County, and the marshal to administer justice to the people of Lanyang County......"
Li Meng sat on the chair and patted gently. It seemed that he had ignored Sun Zhiyang on the ground, and asked Wang Hai on the side and said:
"All the armies outside the city are ready to withdraw their camps!"
"Back to the marshal, General Ma and General Zhao are already ready. Commander Tang's side has also been arranged. β
Li Meng nodded, bowed his head and said to Sun Zhiyang, who was still kneeling on the ground:
"This seat is going to return to Shandong the day after tomorrow, and you will definitely go and talk to General Zuo tomorrow about this matter, and let him give an explanation."
As soon as he heard Li Meng say this, and also called him "General Zuo", Sun Zhiyang's passionate anticipation suddenly cooled down, and he raised his head and cried regardless of it:
"Great. If Zuo Liangyu can restrain his soldiers and horses and strictly enforce military discipline, how can there be such a tragedy in my Lanyang County, then Zuo Liangyu must be a prevarication in many ways, handsome, if I can make decisions for the people of Lanyang County, I Sun Zhiyang is willing to be a cow and a horse......"
As he spoke, he was obviously a little out of shape, and when Wang Haifang reported the preparations for the withdrawal of troops outside the city, he had been waiting for Li Meng's order. But Li Meng didn't, and now he is also looking at his own coach with a red face, fortunately, he is his own soldiers and horses, although he has thoughts in his heart, he will not say it in front of outsiders.
However, Yuan Wenhong heard something from Li Meng's words, and seeing that Sun Zhiyang was about to cry again, he hurriedly greeted his own soldiers and said:
"Lord Sun has been tired for a few days, hurry up and help him to rest, and talk about it tomorrow."
He waved his hand a few times. Seeing Li Mengye, the soldiers nodded and hurriedly stepped forward to set up Sun Zhiyang, walked towards the guest room, and walked out of the living room. Out of the courtyard, you can still faintly hear Sun Zhiyang's crying voice. ^^
At this time, Wang Hai eagerly turned around and said:
"Dashuai, these beasts are blatantly evil in front of our eyes, this is obviously not taking our Jiaozhou camp in their eyes, Dashuai, you must take care of it!"
Li Meng looked at Wang Hai with a smile, thinking that this kid would speak tactfully, and Wang Hai looked at Li Meng's expression. I was a little anxious again. Hurriedly continued:
"This Lanyang County is on the way back to our army, and there is such a army without Wang Fadi. Our retreat may not be peaceful, but there must be a disposition! β
It is true that he can speak, and he can also pull a big flag as a tiger skin, but Li Mengque ignored it and said directly to the herald:
"You go back to the camp at the ferry tonight, tell those who stay behind, hold steady, don't act rashly, guard the camp and the ferry, this is their duty, go quickly after resting, pay attention to safety on the road!"
He casually cared for a few words, but the cavalry who delivered the message was very moved, bowed down and retreated, what else did Wang Hai say over there, but Li Meng said:
"It's already so late, what are you still rubbing here, go and rest, and talk about it tomorrow!"
Wang Hai was about to argue, but when he saw Yuan Wenhong smiling and shaking his head with him, his mind was not slow, although he was a little sullen, he still bowed his head and retreated.
When Wang Hai came out of the house, Li Meng turned around and said to Yuan Wenhong with a smile:
"Wang Hai is still young, when he doesn't rely on Mr. to figure out the matter of Fang Cai, when he will be a complete instrument."
Yuan Wenhong knew that Li Meng's small movements were noticed by Li Meng, so he bowed down and apologized with a smile, but he had a different opinion from Li Meng, and said with a smile:
"Dashuai, the king is this kind of straightforward and hot-blooded, which is also his strength, and following Dashuai is a confidant, if he succeeds in the future, he will also have to be alone, isn't Dashuai lonely."
These words, both sides are not offended, Li Meng smiled and did not have an interface.
"In the past few days, I have been in Kaifeng City, and it is really hard for all my colleagues in Kaifeng City to organize, and Li is here to toast you with a glass of wine!"
Li Meng and Yan Jizu stood up with a smile, holding a wine glass in their hands and turning around for half a circle, the political envoy and the prefect of Kaifeng, Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Henan, and several lieutenant generals also stood up with a smile and raised their glasses.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, also stood up, but Zuo Liangyu sat on the seat and did not move.
This rescue of Kaifeng, looking at the reaction of the joint report, if nothing else, Li Xianfeng, Chen Yongfu and other Henan civil and military cadres should not be involved with the great crime of losing the relatives and clans, and they can still earn some credit. And this Shandong general soldier Li Meng and Shandong governor Yan Jizu. This time, it is a real credit, which can be counted as a credit.
But Zuo Liangyu's side is different, he is chasing in the Huguang area. Because of the prevarication of Yang Sichang's order, and Yang Sichang was responsible for the killing of King Xiang and King Fu, he also had joint and several responsibility as a general under the command of Yang Sichang.
Speaking of which, this hard work is guilty of futility, and Zuo Liangyu doesn't want the causes and consequences of these things and his own delay. On the contrary, they had a grudge against Li Meng, who had won the merit, and everyone stood up to toast and return the salute, which was just a polite courtesy.
But this Zuo Liangyu still has a calm face, but he doesn't stand up, everyone looks at Zuo Liangyu's appearance, after all, this prince Shaobao is the highest rank among all the people here, and everyone is a little embarrassed when he makes such a statement, but Shandong Bing is leaving anyway, and it doesn't matter if there are contradictions.
People pretend they don't have it. After drinking a glass of wine together, the political envoy of Henan was just about to say a few words of gossip, but he heard Li Meng speak first:
"General Zuo, I heard that the first part of your army behaved misbehaving in Lanyang County and harassing the people, causing the people's resentment to boil, does General Zuo know about this?"
Hearing Li Meng say this, the prefect of Kaifeng and the political envoy were all in a state of shock, and they all knew last night that Zuo Liangyu was the largest military leader in Henan. I couldn't offend, I thought that if I drove out the Lanyang County Order that I didn't know what to do, no one in Henan would take care of it, and this matter would be suppressed. Who would have thought that today's Shandong general soldier would mention it again.
When Zuo Liangyu heard Li Meng say this, his face turned even darker, and he said coldly:
"I know how, I don't know how."
Henan Governor Li Xianfeng looked left and right, they were all people of the same level as himself, and he couldn't afford to offend, so he simply looked at his heart with his mouth and nose, and didn't care.
Li Meng smiled and didn't move. Just continue:
"We are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court. If it is a nuisance to the land, it will bring harm to the people. Isn't this a violation of the criminal law of the imperial court and ruining the reputation of our officers and soldiers, if General Zuo knows about this, please restrain his subordinates and horses, don't let them do so much, after all, we are all here to rescue, not to infringe, in doing so, isn't it even as good as a thief! β
Chen Yongfu and several generals looked at each other a few times, all of them had strange expressions, thinking that this Shandong general soldier looked at the appearance of the young man, why did he speak so confused, and he returned the criminal law, reputation, and military discipline, is this a joke?
Sitting next to Li Meng, Yan Jizu's expression was also quite strange, because he was used to seeing Li Meng's face sinking like water on weekdays, and he always felt unsteady and extremely awkward with such a smile and a kind appearance, as for Li Xianfeng and Yang Wenyue, they were chatting with old gods, as if they had never seen this.
Li Meng said it so directly, Zuo Liangyu was also stunned, and then he was furious, slammed the cup on the table, stood up and shouted angrily:
"You are an identity, you dare to say that the subordinates of this seat are still humble in your eyes! Is there any royal law! β
Zuo Liangyu threw his cup at the dinner table, and his pro-soldiers outside the hall were immediately alarmed and were about to rush in in a hurry, but outside were not only Zuo Liangyu's pro-soldiers, but also the personal guards brought by Li Meng.
Neither of the two sides squeezed in, and confronted each other at the door, but Li Mengdi's personal soldiers acted in an orderly manner, and they also knocked down a few of the other party.
Looking at this situation, several civil and military officials present couldn't sit still, on the one hand, they secretly scolded Zuo Liangyu for being arrogant and Li Mengmang for being naΓ―ve, and a group of people stood up to persuade each other.
Looking at Zuo Liangyuhuo, the guards outside the house were tense, but Li Meng didn't continue, put down the wine glass, hugged his fists at Zuo Liangyu opposite, and said with a smile:
"Since Zuo is under fire, obviously he is unwilling to take care of this matter, and since this is the case, Li has no right to interfere in the private affairs of other families, so I just lost my words, so please bear with me."
After saying this, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot, Li Meng's posture was really polite, and continued:
"I've been bothering you for so long, and there are a lot of things going on in the general's family, so I'll take this place to say goodbye to you today, and I'll lead the troops back to Shandong."
Li Meng bowed to the people at the table and strode out of the house, although Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier, felt that this meeting was embarrassing, but they had no intention of getting up and staying, thinking that maybe it was the embarrassment of the Shandong general soldier's reckless behavior. Take the opportunity to leave.
And now there are 15,000 soldiers in the land of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, and 20,000 soldiers of Zuo Liangyu, the prince Shaobao and the general of the Ping thief, plus the local soldiers and horses of Chen Yongfu. Enough for self-protection. Li Zicheng's army rushed towards Nanyang Mansion again, and Kaifeng City had many soldiers and horses from Shandong, which cost money and food, and it was convenient to leave.
Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, sat there and didn't react, and when Li Meng went out, he hurriedly stood up and followed.
After these two people left, Zuo Liangyu sat on the seat and said in disgust:
"Rebels. Such people can actually be in charge of a province of soldiers and horses, I really don't know how to get this official ......"
The pro-soldier team under Li Meng was fully equipped to the extent that many people expected, and when Li Meng and Yan Jizu returned to their residence surrounded by the guards, they immediately set off.
These pro-soldiers in the city were already prepared early in the morning, and Sun Zhiyang was stuffed in the carriage and taken out together, anyway, the officials and officials in Kaifeng City did not dare to inspect the ranks of the Shandong general soldiers.
Walking out of the city gate, the west gate of Kaifeng City was immediately closed, and it is said that there are no thieves now. What are you doing in Kaifeng City so nervous?
However, seeing the appearance of the Jiaozhou battalion outside the city, I can understand why the city is so nervous, Zuo Liangyu's men and horses are now stationed around Kaifeng City, which is very frightening, such a large-scale army outside suddenly pulled out the camp, although it is to return to Shandong, but what to do if it rushes in, I have to be careful.
When he came to the outside of the city, the smile on Li Meng's face disappeared, and he spat in the direction of Kaifeng City. The surrounding generals were quite surprised, it was rare to see that this marshal of his own family had such an uncontrollable emotion, and he didn't know what made him so out of shape.
Wang Hai wanted to say something, but he was already waiting for the Tanma outside, and hurriedly came over to report:
"Great. The left army is still stationed in Lanyang City, and there are six teams on the left around Kaifeng City, only this team has found the city and stationed there, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are blocked, and the soldiers led by the guerrilla surnamed Zhang will not move in half a month. β
After saying this, Li Meng nodded, he had already arranged for the herald to go to the camp to call Tang Er, Li Meng ordered:
"Lead your ground horse team to Lanyang County first. Don't let one of the left soldiers in the city go. You see! β
Dealing with thousands of rabble, Tang Er is very confident. When he hugged his fist, he replied categorically:
"If one runs away, the last general will be willing to engage in military law."
Li Meng nodded, Tang Er made a military salute, got on his horse and beckoned the cavalry to go, and the guards on the city saw a large group of ground horses heading in the direction of the Zhaopizhai ferry, raising smoke and dust in the sky, they didn't feel abnormal at all, isn't this just going back to the division in the direction of the ferry, nothing strange.
Since following Li Meng out of the city in a hurry, Wang Hai, who had begun to want to say something, only then did he understand, and the sky was red with excitement, and he shouted and ordered the whole team to be in the pro-military camp.
Li Meng glanced at this kid, smiled and ignored it, but Zhao Neng over there hurried over, walked over, glanced at the people around him, and said in a low voice:
"Marshal, in the border of Henan, the fire and the officers and soldiers, is this matter a little urgent......
In the entire Jiaozhou battalion, that is, Zhao Neng is very few people who are qualified to give some opinions on the decision made by Li Meng, and this Zhao Neng is relatively stable because of his age, Zuo Liangyu is the most powerful general in Huguang and Henan, with almost 80,000 soldiers in his hands.
And this Zuo Liangyu's status is also much higher than Li Meng's, Zuo Liangyu is still the "famous general" who is second to none in this big tomorrow, and he will be on the edge of Kaifeng City, which will inevitably cause too much trouble.
Zhao Neng persuaded a few words here, Li Meng shook his head with a smile, and said:
"That army in Lanyang County has done too many evils, if I don't eradicate these beasts, it will really hurt the heavens and the peace, give them this lesson, so as not to harm more people in the future.
Hearing Li Meng say this, Zhao Neng knew that his handsome man's idea had already been decided, and he paused a little but said:
"In that case, don't let one person get away, and leave no one behind."
Li Meng laughed, patted Zhao Neng's shoulder, and said loudly:
"Exactly, go and prepare!"
Kaifeng City went down to the Zhaopizhai ferry. It was almost a two-and-a-half-day journey, and this distance really allowed the soldiers to travel lightly, because behind them was a brigade of heavy grain and grass. On the other side of the ferry is a warehouse for storing and transporting military supplies, and the soldiers can carry dry rations for two days.
Two days of dry food such a burden, this weight is not too much of a burden, leaving four battalions of 4,000 people to protect the brigade transporting heavy grain and grass, Li Meng took the rest of the soldiers and horses to march to Lanyang County, Ma Gang and Zhao Neng are all leading together.
The soldiers who escorted the slow march of the heavy grain and grass were all veterans of the Jiaozhou battalion, and the rapid march was all Xinding.
The main purpose of coming to Henan from Shandong this time was to train troops. But after coming to Henan, although the battle momentum with Hao Shaoqi was not small, there were still many recruits who did not have actual combat experience, and this operation was to bring these recruits along.
The rotation and review of the Jiaozhou battalion in Pingsuri is also a means to test the training of recruits, but it is inevitable that they will not see it thoroughly enough, but in this actual combat exercise, everything can be tested and understood, and the rapid march is the most important way to test the physical fitness and teamwork of soldiers.
But it's maintained pretty well. The troops led by Ma Gang basically did not make any mistakes, and Zhao Neng's troops moved a little slowly, but the formation was maintained.
Li Meng thought to himself, if it was Chen Liu's troops, it would be the fastest to run, but the team would definitely be the most chaotic. The more than 6,000 soldiers led by Zhang Guerrilla of the Left Army lived extremely comfortably in Lanyang County, a small city with a small population and a small population.
The 6,000 soldiers let go of the plunder, and it was not enough to share the profit at all. On the day that Sun Zhiyang ran out of the county seat, nearly thirty percent of the residents in the city died, and this guerrilla was afraid that the entire city would be killed and could not be explained, so this was the arrangement for the troops directly under him to be suppressed in the city.
But people still keep dying. The following thousands of young girls found some good-looking young girls and sent them to the yamen of Zhixian County, and they promised that the gold and silver property looted in the city must be forty percent of his guerrilla land. After receiving this reply, Zhang Guerrilla was enjoying himself in the yamen with peace of mind.
Those who died were all beheaded and thrown outside from the city walls, and their own army would not stay here for another ten days anyway, and in this weather, even if those corpses were to decompose and spread the disease, it would take some time.
As for these severed heads. Take the lime and sprinkle it. When the political envoys of Henan and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion came, they let these heads be reported as military merits.
The only thing to worry about. That day, the county magistrate of Lanyang County hurriedly ran to the direction of Kaifeng City, but he was careless at that time, how could he let this county magistrate run so far.
But what this guerrilla is worried about is that if the county order goes to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint and makes trouble to Zuo Dashuai, although there will be no punishment, he will definitely scold himself. The gold and silver woman who finally snatched it in Lanyang County has to give a share to the handsome, and she still has to share a large share, so it is not worth it.
As for the military camp of the soldiers and horses of Shandong not far away, this guerrilla did not pay much attention to it, first, because the other side's manpower was much smaller than on his side, and second, because of the robbery of the city, and also paid attention to the first come, first served, since our left army advanced to this Lanyang county town, then this piece of land is ours.
You Shandong soldiers and horses don't come to rob, that's because you didn't start in advance, but no wonder we first occupied the territory circle, as for the camp that went to the fire and Shandong ferry, someone told Zhang Guerrilla, but he scolded him back, saying that we are poor You don't know what it looks like, the ghost place in Shandong is not even the bottom of the pants, besides, you look at the camp that the other party has set up, how to go up and fight!
Anyway, the rules of these years, the well water of the army in different regions does not interfere with the river water, anyway, I have stood in Lanyang County, firmly immovable, you can do whatever you want outside the city, it has nothing to do with me.
Since Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses were stationed in Nanyang Mansion, they have not stayed in the garrison for a day, or fought with the thieves in Henan and Jiangxi, or fought with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai in Huguang and Sichuan under the leadership of Yang Sichang and others.
After getting out of Huguang and going to Henan, although there was such a big disaster as Li Zicheng, he had a little time to be temporarily stable, and these soldiers and horses under his command just had time to rest.
However, the people of Henan have suffered, and this guerrilla leader stays in Lanyang County, which is extremely comfortable, eats and uses the storage in the city, and there are frightened people and civilians who can drive it, which is really a great pleasure.
This guerrilla lived in the mansion of the county order, and the rest of the thousands of general managers each found a large family to live in, and this large family, if they were obedient, they would leave those beautiful women to enjoy by themselves, and the men were driven to the side courtyard and locked up, if they were not obedient, of course the men would be killed.
The left army led by Zhang guerrilla is a partial division, and there is also a surname Zhang in the general of the thousand generals, and this Zhang Qian and this guerrilla are said to be fellow villagers, and the commander is also the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness, and they are arranged in the direction of the east of the city.
The officers of the Left Army didn't have any concept of military training, and finally had a leisure time, and this Zhang Qian always slept until noon with his little wife in a big family every day.
But such a good day is only a few days, this morning was sleeping there, but was woken up by the soldiers who came in a hurry, this Zhang Qian did not stay enough in the gentle township, so angry that he slapped the soldiers a few times.
