Chapter Forty-Six: Xiliang Pacification
"Drive! Drive! Hurry! Rush to the west pass as fast as possible! Ma Chao whipped the horse's butt while urging the horsewhips in the hands of the soldiers, and now he was eager to fly and attack Liu Yi as fast as he could.
Ma Chao and they were rushing to attack, Liu Yi was ready for a counter-attack, and Liu Yi was telling his team captains to do things, "Are you ready?" According to the information of the scouts, they can come tonight, and there is an order to go down and capture them alive! ”。
"Führer! All set! As long as they come, even 30,000 people can be wiped out. Zhang Nuo replied.
"Excellent! Remember not to kill those who surrender! Go back to your fighting posts! Liu Yi waved his hand, and the team leaders all dispersed.
When night came, Liu Yi's barracks was full of fire, laughter, and the soldiers were happily eating roast beef.
"General! The scout force is coming! According to their intelligence! Liu Yi's army relaxed its vigilance, and they were all celebrating their achievements in the past few days. Ma Chao's generals took bamboo slips and reported to Ma Chao.
took the bamboo slip, listened to the general's words and glanced at the bamboo slip, and couldn't help but smile. "Celebrate and let you cry!" Ma Chaoxi sneered.
In the dark night, Ma Chao's 30,000 cavalry left the western pass and quietly advanced towards Liu Yi's military camp, while in the darkness not far from them, five soul hunters with AK on their backs were quietly following them.
Ma Chao and the others slowly approached Liu Yi's military camp, and saw the firelight and laughter of soldiers not far away, eating, drinking, and fighting.
"Bow and arrow ready!" Ma Chao took out the bow and arrow behind his back, and the arrow was pulled for a month and a half and aimed at the barracks to shoot.
"Three~two~one~ Boom Boom" didn't wait for Ma Chao to shoot, the cavalry behind exploded, and one mortar shell after another fell behind Ma Chao, and it immediately exploded on his back, and flesh and blood flew sideways.
"What's going on?" Ma Chao hurriedly glanced back, the formation at this time was all chaotic, and the cavalry in the middle was blown up and cried for his mother.
"Rush!" Ma Chao couldn't care so much, he was only safe when he rushed to Liu Yi's barracks, but he was wrong, in Liu Yi's barracks, five thousand AKs were waiting for them!
"Hurry up! It's horrible here! Who shouted in the panic, 10,000 cavalry rushed forward, although the cavalry was now in chaos, but the speed was amazing, they rushed into Liu Yi's military camp under the leadership of Ma Chao in just a few minutes, but what was waiting for them in the barracks was not that they killed the enemy, but that they were beaten into a sieve by bullets.
"Da ......" gunshots rang out outside the barracks, and the soul hunter soldiers all ran under the outer fence, and those who didn't understand it seemed that this was blocking horses, but Liu Yi They were used as trenches.
"Not good! We've been tricked! Hurry! Everyone slowly fenced around me, otherwise don't even think about going out! Ma Chao was very calm at this time, and hurriedly ordered everyone to gather together to prepare for a breakthrough, but can they really break through like this? The answer is that it is simply impossible, cold weapons meet hot weapons, and only the share of being killed.
The cavalry surrounded under Ma Chao's order, and the people in the middle part of the bow with Ma Chao pulled out the bow and counterattacked, but they didn't find the target to shoot and could only shoot randomly, so although it was very blind, but in the case of a large number of people, they still shot a few soul hunters, of course, these random arrows could not kill people.
The bullets never broke in waves, and the circle around Ma Chao was slowly getting smaller, Ma Chao tried to rush out, but the shells fell down and blocked the way after just a few meters.
"Ma Chao! I advise you to surrender, or you will all die, and think of these soldiers under your command, who have abandoned their wives and children to fight with you, but you have given them all their lives! Are you really that ruthless? Liu Yi shouted on the periphery, he was playing psychological tactics, but his psychological tactics did not succeed, but inspired the surrounded cavalry!
"Brothers! It is better to die on your knees than to live on your feet! Rush out of here! Ma Chao saw that his morale was motivated by Liu Yi, and he also interjected.
"Kill!" The surrounding cavalry suddenly rose in morale and rushed to the door.
"I don't know the times! Leave Ma Chao behind, and kill the rest of the people! Liu Yi shook his head, he didn't admire this group of people, if he was also a cold weapon on his side, he would admire it, but their side is a hot weapon, no matter if you are powerful, you will die, it is better to surrender as soon as possible, and Ma Chao, I didn't know how the people on my side died, so I broke through desperately.
The gunfire of "Da Da ......" became more intense, the speed of the cavalry's death accelerated a lot, and the cavalry who rushed up fell like wheat, and Ma Chao rushed to find that the surrounding people had changed from thousands to hundreds, then to dozens, and then to several, and finally he was the only one left.
"What's going on?" Ma Chao looked back, and he was the only one left of the 30,000 cavalry.
"Click!" Two gunshots rang out, and Ma Chao's mount was shot through the head and Ma Chao fell off.
"Fence it out!" Liu Yi surrounded him with people, and Ma Chao was broken (in fact, the one in the TV who fell off the horse and was unharmed is fake!). Who is going to try to be dropped from a horse without breaking a bone? )。
"Ma Chao! What do you think? Still want to sneak up on me? Hehe, I'll give you a counter-attack! Liu Yi smiled as he said and walked to Ma Chao's side.
Ma Chao stood up holding his fractured left hand, looked at Liu Yi with disdain, and then said, "Can you show me the weapons you use?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Yi picked up the AK on his back and gave it to Ma Chao, he wouldn't use it anyway, and it was just a-stirring stick to him.
Ma Chao took the ak in his hand and looked at it, and fiddled with it here and there, but he didn't know how to use this thing!
"How to use this thing! Can you teach me? Ma Chao asked curiously with the AK.
"I'll tell you when I'm my subordinate!" Liu Yi opened his arms to Ma Chao.
"What's so good about being your subordinate?" Ma Chao is a person who only follows the strong.
"Of course it's good to be my subordinate! There are guns and cannons! I don't believe you! After Liu Yi finished speaking, he asked someone to bring a mortar, and then demonstrated it to Ma Chao.
"Bang!" Mortars blew up the open space in the distance and dusted it. Ma Chao looked at the powerful mortar and opened his mouth in surprise, this thing is so powerful, no wonder Liu Yi swept the two major forces so quickly.
"How? Do you want to be my subordinate? Liu Yi asked Ma Chao a little proudly.
"Good!" Ma Chao was shocked by the mortar, and directly agreed.
"That's good! Soul Hunters! I announce that this General Ma Chaoma is now the commander of our Soul Hunting Legion, and he is the biggest in my absence! Do you understand? Liu Yi saw that Ma Chao agreed, and gave him benefits without saying a word, and became the commander of the Soul Hunting Legion, which was a bunker.
"Everything is under the orders of the Führer!" The soldiers of the Soul Hunting Legion have no objection to Liu Yi's order, no one will have a second word about the orders issued by their faith, and the people they value in their faith will be bad?
"Thank you, sir!" Ma Chao was naturally grateful when he saw that Liu Yi had given him such a big benefit.
"It's okay! You have the ability to hold this position, and don't call me my lord, call me the Führer! ”
"It's the Führer!"
"Meng Qi! I don't know ...... your father's side" Liu Yi stopped in the second half of the sentence, and Ma Chao could understand what he meant.
"Don't worry! My lord, no! Monarch! My father will surrender! Ma Chao knew that Liu Yi was embarrassed to say it, so he said it directly.
"That's good!" Liu Yi nodded.
"Führer! Can I use this thing now? Ma Chao asked Liu Yi with the AK in his hand, he really wanted to do AK.
"Now it's all my own people, naturally no problem! Zhang Nuo, you come to teach the regiment commander to shoot! Liu Yi pointed at Zhang Nuo and ordered to clean up the battlefield.
After a night's rest, Liu Yi took Ma Chao and the Soul Hunting People's Liberation Army to the West Pass, and under Ma Chao's explanation, the West Pass was successfully liberated, and then all the big cities in Zhangye County were liberated, and finally Ma Teng of Yecheng also surrendered. Since Han Sui Ma Teng's uprising split Xiliang, Xiliang has finally been in the hands of Liu Yi, and now he can stretch his fists and feet to develop Xiliang.
After arranging the affairs of the counties of Xiliang along the way, Liu Yi returned to Hanyang with Ma Teng and his son, Guan Yu, Pang De, and Yuanhe.
In the Taishou Mansion of Hanyang City, seven people sat on both sides according to their identities.
"Now Xiliang has returned to my hands, we now want to develop the economy, I believe you also see the development of the Han Dynasty now, in a few years the world will be in chaos, so we must take advantage of the chaos in the world to prepare for the world, the first to fight the world is a strong army, the second is the economy, the third is talent and technology, the army is no problem, I can also develop a lot of guns and weapons here, to develop weapons we need money and technical personnel, so we need to develop the economy and cultivate talents, I'll work out the plan overnight tonight! In addition, we have to recruit troops from all over the country now, our army source is obviously insufficient, my soul hunting army of 10,000 is still too small, at least it has to be expanded to 50,000, in addition, I have to increase the cavalry of Pang De, only 20,000 is too little, at least 100,000, as for my second brother Guan Yu, at least 200,000 infantry must be recruited to him! We are now going to recruit 340,000 soldiers, and I believe that as long as we are given generous conditions, there will be people who will come to serve as soldiers, and there are also Qiang people on the Meng Qi side who will bring people to recruit 50,000 people and 100,000 horses...... Come back! Liu Yi said Xiliang's adjustment plan in a row.
"My lord! On the military side, let's discuss it when the economy develops! After all, 340,000 people still need money for generous conditions! Yuan He said what he thought.
"Of course you can! You all go down, and I'll make a plan for economic development! Liu Yi walked out of the door after speaking, and the others followed him out.
When he got home, Liu Yi picked up more than ten rolls of bamboo slips and began to write a plan, he was ready to engage in capitalism and a little socialism, as for absolute socialism, it would not work, it had to be slowly excessive.
From the afternoon to the early hours of the morning, Liu Yi stretched his waist and drank a sip of Zhang Ning's fragrant tea and fell asleep, he didn't get up until noon the next day, and when he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Yuanhe and they were already waiting for him.
"It's all here! Mr. Motoai, look at my decree! Liu Yi put the dozen rolls of bamboo slips he was carrying in front of Yuan He and asked him to see that only he knew the most about economics.
Yuan He's face changed while looking at it, and the content of the decree was; The first article, the landlord law! All landlords hand over all the land to the peasants, and three-quarters of the property is handed over to the public, and if they do not follow the law, the government will lead the peasants to take compulsory measures. The second one, the Ranch Law! All nomadic herdsmen are forbidden to nomadic herds, and the government allocates grassland to establish pastures, and the pastures must be divided into four pieces for exchange grazing, otherwise the grass will be eaten up, and if they do not follow the law, they will be driven out of Xiliang to fend for themselves. Article 3: The decree on the Qiang nationality states that all people shall treat the Qiang nationality fairly, and adopt the system of ethnic autonomy for the Qiang nationality to establish the Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. Fourth, the law on per capita land occupancy! Every Xiliang person can get land, but they have to buy it with money. Article 5, Industrial Law! Wealthy businessmen obtain government certificates to set up factories and asset enterprises. Article 6 of the Education Law stipulates that all juveniles under the age of 16 must be educated in schools in various localities, and parents may not force juveniles under the age of 16 to drop out of school, and if they are found to be conquered, their property and land will be confiscated. Article 7! Reward the invention law! Any invention that is made and hired by the government will be rewarded accordingly for the importance of the invention, up to 10 million taels of silver. Article 8, the Law on Rewards for Joining the Army! Anyone who has joined the army in the family can get free land from the government, and the government gives a monthly subsidy. Article 9, Business Law! Encourage business, and in the future, the Western Regions can be opened to the government to hire troops for protection. Article 10, the Führer's advice! The decree issued by Liu Yi, the supreme commander of Xiliang, is all in the service of the name of the person, please fully cooperate, if you do not cooperate, the supreme commander Liu Yi will let you be punished accordingly.
"Führer! This decree is well written, but some of the decrees in it cannot be done, such as the confiscation of landlords' property, the prohibition of grazing, and the impossibility of military rewards! Yuan He said in embarrassment after reading the ten-day decree.
"Nothing can't be done! Politics comes out of the barrel of the gun, and everything is blocked and the gun is solved! Okay, let the second brother and Pound inform the officials of the various counties and counties to implement the decree and deal with the diehards by the way, go down! Liu Yi insisted that as long as these ten decrees were fully implemented, Xiliang's comprehensive strength could reach its peak.
Yuan He saw that Liu Yi insisted on insisting and had no choice, so he had to sigh and shake his head.
After the decree was promulgated in all counties, the landlords and nomadic herdsmen rebelled one by one, and the peasants and Qiang people all supported it. Pang Deguan Yu, on the other hand, went everywhere to direct and instruct officials to lead the peasants to fight the landlords and enforce the pasture law.
Liu Yi's generals are all busy, and Liu Yi is dealing with miscellaneous things, the first thing is to torture Qu Wei to death, he was busy some time ago but forgot about this turtle grandson.
"Liu Yi, you traitor, as the authentic sect of the Han family, since you betrayed the Han family, you must not die a bad death for 10,000 years...... Ahhh Qu Wei's mouth kept scolding Liu Yi, and Liu Yi didn't talk nonsense with him, he took the whip and smoked, the tiger chair slammed the bricks, and the salt was sprinkled on Qu Wei without money, and finally he took out a soldering iron and burned it fiercely. Finally, Qu Wei hung up under his torture!
A few days after solving Qu Wei, Uncle Liu Huang sent Mrs. Gan over, Liu Yi first asked someone to arrest Liu Bei and humiliate him in every way, and pulled out Liu Bei's pants in front of Mrs. Gan and told him that Liu Bei was not a man, and beat Liu Bei again, Liu Yi let Zhang Fei let them go, this time Liu Yi and Liu Bei's feud was very big, and Liu Bei couldn't wait to eat Liu Yi alive.
After arranging Mrs. Gan to live in the house, Liu Yi went out to continue to deal with unfinished trivial matters, Mrs. Gan he was not ready to ask for it, he was played by Liu Bei, he felt stolen!
Two weeks have passed, Guan Yu Pang De and they brought people back, and now after Xiliang County beat a lot of landlords, other landlords are honest, obediently according to the law, the herdsmen have also settled, and began to establish pastures according to the ranch law, to there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, but I believe that they will have no chance of survival after the effect of the law comes out, and they will eventually fail if they only try to do it for a while.
Seeing that Guan Yu Pang De and they were back, Liu Yi also began to prepare for the army to rebel to help the Yellow Turban Army, he told Guan Yu Pang De about it, and Pang De had already rebelled, and repeatedly said that he supported it. Guan Yu was a little hesitant, but after some brainwashing by Liu Yi, he finally supported it, and everything was waiting for Ma Chao to recruit back. But at this time, an uninvited guest came to his house.
