Chapter 705: The Great Army Gathers
This time, Liu Chao rebelled in a hurry, there were no weapons, armor and other things, and the equipment of the troops was poor, even if there were, Sun Yuan couldn't look down on it. As for the grain, there is not much, but there is a lot of money in the treasury.
The summer tax collected by Yongcheng and the money and goods looted by Liu Chao were piled up in more than 20 warehouses, plus the copper coins and silver collected by the Ningxiang army from the dead, Sun Yuan was a little breathless.
The city was so dirty that there was a fear of a plague epidemic, so the gold and silver were melted and cast into fifty taels of ingots. As for the copper coins, they were directly made into copper sticks with a thickness of one meter at the mouth of the bowl, bundled with wheat straw and reeds, loaded into trucks, and prepared to be sent back to Yangzhou Town.
The work of counting and seizing was too busy and there was a shortage of manpower, so Huang You directly filled Hao Xiaoren and others into his account as laborers. Soon, a rough number came together. This time he took Yongcheng, and Sun Yuan got nearly 400,000 taels of silver. As for copper, it simply can't be calculated.
Coupled with Ma Shiying's promise to Sun Yuan's military salary, the harvest is huge. The huge harvest made Ning Xiangjun, who had been in a financial crisis, breathe a sigh of relief, and even Huang You's always depressed face had a rare smile.
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Fu Shan beside him was still full of regret.
"Lord Qing, what are you sighing about?"
Fu Shan: "It's a pity that the money is still too little, I seem to have heard the general say that Shangxian counties like Rugao have 70,000 taels of silver every year in summer and autumn alone, how can the property of this Yongcheng city be only 400,000 taels?" ”
Sun Yuan: "How can Henan be compared with Jiangnan, most of the world's wealth comes from Jiangnan, and half of Jiangnan's wealth comes from Yangzhou."
。 Moreover, Henan has been hit by disasters for more than a year. ”
"It's not comparable, but it's not less like this." Fu Shan shook his head: "This catastrophe that spanned three years really made Henan completely rotten." Take Yongcheng as an example, the rich people either fled or were robbed by Liu Chao. The people were also killed and wounded, and as the general said, there were no more than ten years to recover. This battle can be regarded as draining the last bit of vitality of Yongcheng. (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)"
"That's true." Sun Yuan's heart was heavy: "By the way, what is Governor Ma's plan for the remaining 8,000 captives in Yongcheng?" ”
Ma Shiying was very ruthless, and Sun Yuan was a little worried that this guy would kill them again.
Governor Ma said that he had screened these 8,000 people, and more than 200 of them were Liu Chao's subordinates, relatives and family members, and these people should be held accountable and have been taken into custody and ready to be sent back to Nanjing to be interrogated and convicted by the Criminal Department. As for the remaining more than 7,000 people, they could not stay in Yongcheng. They are all young and strong, and they have fought in battle, so they must be guarded against having no livelihood and turning back. had to be sent to Fengyang, and it was scattered and enriched into the military households in various places. ”
"That's a good idea." Sun Yuan nodded, eight thousand young and strong, but it is a lot of human resources. Some officers in the previous army also suggested whether to get these 8,000 people back to Yangzhou Town, Sun Yuan thought about it, or just that. These ruffians are just rat droppings, and it's useless to get them back. Sun Yuan recruits soldiers, and he likes the kind of honest and honest son the most. Moreover, Lao Ma is the governor of Lufeng, and Fengyang is also very dilapidated now, he also needs manpower, and it is not easy to compete with him.
After speaking, Sun Yuan asked again: "By the way, Lord Qing, you go back and forth between the governor Xingyuan and the Ningxiang army." This time, our army ate alone, and the other two armies didn't say strange things, right? ”
"The general can rest assured, when the city sees the sky, a cart of dead people is transported outside, and the fire in the field has not been extinguished, Lu Feng and the Nanjing army are afraid of death, and it is too late to hide in this plague city, how can they dare to enter the city to fight the autumn wind. Fu Shan said with a smile: "Even if the general sends money and goods over, they don't dare to ask for it, for fear of getting sick." Governor Ma was also generous, and promised to allocate some more silver to them, and everyone rejoiced. ”
"Yes, Yongcheng has become a city of plagues today
。 Sun Yuan sighed: "Let's go, let's go to the street to see how the disinfection and epidemic prevention are going." ”
On the first day after entering the city, Sun Yuan called Fu Shan and Garcia together, formulated a strict disinfection and epidemic prevention system, and ordered all soldiers to follow it.
First of all, all the dead in the streets must be sent out of the city, buried and burned. The streets had to be washed, sprinkled with quicklime and sprayed with vinegar in a pump.
Second, all soldiers must wear masks and wash their hands frequently. The drinking water needed by the soldiers was brought from the water outside the city, because there were many dead people buried in the ground, and no one knew whether the well water was contaminated or not.
However, even so, more than thirty soldiers fell ill and were sent out of the city to be isolated and treated in isolation in the old camp.
When I went to the street, there was a light in front of me. But I saw that the outside was already clear, and the streets were smooth and clean, and they were all carefully washed with water.
The lingering smell of corpses in the air has been replaced by the fresh fragrance of plants, and when I looked up, I saw that a century-old acacia tree around me had become green, like a green umbrella spread overhead.
Sun Yuan's heart was clear, and he couldn't help but touch the bark of the tree, feeling the moist vitality sprouting from the roughness.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "General, general, great joy!" ”
Sun Yuan turned his head and saw Yu Xiang coming from the corner of the street, his face was full of joy, clenching his fists, and he looked excited: "General, look, who is coming?" ”
Sun Yuan walked over, pulled off the mask under his face, and shouted, "Boy, you didn't even wear a mask." As the experience of Yangzhou Town, he took the lead in violating military discipline, and the crime was added to the first degree. Nonsense, go to Chen Tieshan immediately and get thirty military sticks. ”
"General, didn't I get carried away with joy, did I forget, General, you see that Xiao Yu is also an old man under you, pretending not to see it." Yu Xiang stuck out his tongue.
This kid, who has been following me for many years, has become more and more unshaped, Sun Yuan snorted: "If you are happy in your heart, you don't want military law, I am also for your good." If you get infected with the plague, you will die ......"
While he was talking, four more people turned around the corner.
Sun Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, but these four people were Qiang Donkey, Wen Laosan, Shao Wei and Zhu Xuanshui
。
It seems that the main force of the Ningxiang Army has already arrived in Yongcheng, Sun Yuan was surprised, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, it was good, it was good, I was looking forward to you these days!" What about the Yuanzi Camp and the Weizi Camp? ”
The donkey shouted: "Damn, I heard that the cavalry army has enjoyed the fight this time, and the general is biased and will not bring us over." ”
Everyone laughed quietly, and Shao Wei stepped forward and said: "General Yu, the Yuanzi Battalion and the Weizi Battalion have all arrived, and those who came with me and the others, as well as Pablo's artillery battalion, Erhu and Lao Xuan's craftsman battalion also came, and a total of tens of thousands of horses were dispatched." ”
Sun Yuan: "What about Yangzhou?" ”
Wen Laosan interjected: "Fei Tou'er doesn't lead much troops now, so he stays at home." ”
"That's good, that's good." Sun Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
The army is finally here, and now it's too late to rush to Kaifeng.
It's still too late to change history.
After speaking, after talking about business, Sun Yuan bowed his hand to Zhu Xuanshui: "Lord Taishan, why did you come to Yongcheng, don't say it earlier, I should go out of the city to borrow your old man's house earlier." ”
Zhu Xuanshui has been at home since he resigned from Jinyi Wei Yamen three years ago. Sun Yuan sent someone to invite him to serve in the army, but he resigned on the grounds of old age, in fact, he is old, he is only in his forties this year, and he is in the prime of life.
This time, he came to Yongcheng, which is indeed a strange thing.
Zhu Xuanshui snorted: "Why, the old man is not welcome." Since the death of his daughter, Zhu Xuanshui's mood has been depressed, his temper has been bad day by day, and he is difficult to listen to when he speaks.
Hearing his words, everyone was a little embarrassed and pretended not to hear it.
Sun Yuan was not angry: "Lord Taishan, how dare you son-in-law, you can come over, I can't be happy." ”
He breathed in a low voice for a long time, and Zhu Xuanshui was in a better mood before he said; "The old man originally went to Rugao to pick up his grandson and return to Nanjing to live temporarily, but as soon as he returned home, he received a letter from Liang Mancang, asking the old man to help him investigate one thing. The old man was fine anyway, and after checking it out, he brought his grandson over. ”
"Ah, the little general is here
。 Several of the guards around Sun Yuan whispered.
Sun Yuan was stunned: "Ah Da is here, Lord Taishan." He's only two years old...... You...... How can you bring him to the battlefield...... Did he go into town? ”
"Why can't you go to war?" Zhu Xuanshui snorted coldly again: "What about being two years old, Ah Danai is a hereditary brocade family, and he will definitely inherit your title in the future, so he will inevitably command Yangzhou Town, but it is a good thing to let him go to the battlefield to see it earlier." When you enter the city, you are old and confused, and there is a plague in this city, if you are infected, how can it be good. Rest assured, Ah Da lives in the old camp outside. ”
Sun Yuan was still not at ease: "Who will take care of such a big child and walk such a long way." ”
Zhu Xuanshui began to lose his temper: "Are you a dead man when you are an old man?" ”
"Don't dare."
"The old man is too late to love his grandson, don't you know how to take care of it." Zhu Xuanshui: "Don't worry, Ah Da's nurse and maid boy have all come over together." ”
Sun Yuan: "By the way, Mr. Taishan, what do you say you want to investigate?" ”
"You've got a spy in your account." Zhu Xuanshui said calmly.
"Ahh All the people cried out and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Zhu Xuanshui: "Aren't I investigating, there will be a result then." ”
Sun Yuan is now a little afraid of this old man: "Master Taishan, you and Liang Man will check the warehouse, and after finding the spies, tell your son-in-law that I will give you all carte blanche to the two of you." ”
Now that the Ningxiang Army has finally arrived in Yongcheng, without further ado, it must be driven to the Kaifeng battlefield as soon as possible. I have to inform Ma Shiying about this matter first, whether the old horse agrees or not, he will send troops.
Sun Yuan: "Okay, let's go out of the city and go back to the old camp first, and I will go to see my son first, and then go to see Governor Ma." ”
He now has a son and a daughter, the eldest is a son, born to Zhu Ting, the second is a daughter, and the mother is Shaoyu.
When he thought of Ah Da's son, Sun Yuan had a headache.
