Haifeng County Ya has changed its owner at this time.

It's still so heavily guarded, but it's all replaced by Ming army foot soldiers wearing cotton armor or cyan single clothes, three steps and one sentry in the back garden, five steps and one post, and the soldiers holding spears or five thunder god machines stand straight.

A crisp laugh like a silver bell came, and two women came out of the forest one after the other, both wearing emerald green clothes, and the sunlight shone on them through the branches and leaves, and the light was speckled like elves in the forest.

Last night a cold autumn rain, the last few yellow leaves on the branches were also blown away by the rain and wind, falling to the golden yellow of the ground, the branches were bare, and the cold wind was howling. But the appearance of these two women has added a bit of warmth to this place.

The mature and charming woman in front was carrying a red lacquer food box in her hand, while the woman in the back was holding a stack of documents in her hand.

Here, it is now the place where President Lian Zining of Wu Yijun is stationed.

It has been more than 20 days since the sniper battle outside Jingcheng Pass.

Both nominally and in reality, this is the last battle of the army to pacify the white-robed bandits.

At that moment, Kang Lu and Tang Yidao respectively led Zhang Yanchang's personal soldiers to fight bravely, completely tearing apart the array of the white-robed army, and then the avant-garde and the four guards of the government army a total of 3,500 cavalry pressed on and inserted straight into it from the middle, which gave the doomed defeat of the white-robed army a heavy kick!

At this time, under the escort of a thousand elites, the high-ranking members of the white-robed army crossed the river in the shallow part of the Taiping River.

This result not only surprised Lian Zining, but also made all the white-robed sergeants who were fighting dumbfounded!

No one thought that at this time, the coach would escape! Lian Zining was surprised, but a trace of admiration rose in his heart, there is no doubt that at this moment, taking advantage of the fact that most of the officers and soldiers are entangled in the white-robed army, leading the crowd to escape is the best choice, and this is also the most favorable time to escape. Zhang Geng and Qi Jiguang have such vicious eyes, such resolute work, and such fierce hearts, they really did the sentence of Ci Bu in charge of the soldiers. If you put those famous heroes in history in this situation, you will definitely make such a choice, but what if you are yourself?

Lian Zining thought about it, and his heart was cold.

But there is no doubt that the last vestiges of the white-robed army's fighting spirit have also been destroyed.

The white-robed army collapsed, and the soldiers no longer had the will to fight, not only the recruits, but even those veterans who had fought a few battles also fled one after another. The officers and soldiers pursued and killed from behind, easily killing deserters one by one, while more simply knelt on the ground, abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

This battle, which lasted for a whole morning, did not end until Shen Shi, and ended with a hearty victory for the officers and men!

Of the 13,000 white-robed troops, more than 4,700 were killed, 1,000 elites fled, and the remaining 7,000 or so all surrendered.

This battle completely destroyed the last trace of vitality of the white-robed army, destroyed the combat effectiveness of the white-robed army, and almost completely annihilated the victory, which is also rare in previous wars.

At this point, starting from Yangxin, Shandong, crisscrossing northern Lubei, galloping thousands of miles, making the north restless, and the white-robed army that the Beijing division shook was completely defeated in front of this well pass.

At this point, the rebellion of the white robe was completely quelled.

Zhang Gengsuo, who crossed the river, and the defenders of Jingcheng Pass, the White Lotus Sect, converged and quietly withdrew, when the chain bridge was finally repaired, and Lian Zining and others entered Jingcheng Pass, only 300 Ming soldiers who were slaughtered were found in the Guancheng.

When he led the army to escort the captives back to the camp, Zhang Yanchang, who had already received the news, greeted him ten miles away, showing great respect for him.

Then a series of redundant matters do not need to be mentioned, the folds of asking for compensation were sent to the capital one by one, and the war report was also written with flowers, which spread from Ningjin County all the way to Yanjing, and now the entire northern land has known the news that the white-robed army has been eradicated.

But the strange thing is that the reaction of the imperial court this time is very slow, it has been twenty days, not only has the reward not come down, but even the herdsmen and officials of these counties who have been harmed by the white-robed army have not been sent down. In the end, a decree came out from the palace, asking Zhang Yanchang to temporarily act as the governor of the six counties, pacify the people, maintain law and order, and suppress bandits.

After this decree came down, Zhang Yanchang and the generals suddenly realized.

This kind of practice is not uncommon in the national dynasty, after suppressing an uprising in a certain place, because most of the local herdsmen and officials are killed, there will basically be a vacuum of rule, and at this time, there will be a period of so-called 'military control'. During the period of military management, in fact, it was an opportunity for these soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to suppress the rebellion to accumulate money and collect benefits. However, in any uprising, no matter what the name is, there is always one thing to do -- to accumulate money and grain, so after the war, the amount of money, grain, and grass left behind must be very large.

This kind of order has the flavor of some reward.

Zhang Yanchang divided the various armies into counties and reaped the benefits separately, Pingshanwei, Shenwu Youwei, Shenyang Zhongtunwei, Datong Zhongtunwei, plus the Fujun Qianwei and Wuyi Army, which happened to be stationed in the six counties that were plagued.

Among the six counties, Haifeng County was the latest to be occupied, and it was relatively lightly exploited, and as the last garrison of the White Robe Army, it must be the most lucrative. Because Wu Yijun had the greatest merit, he was sent to Haifeng County, and everyone had nothing to say.

After the troops arrived at the garrison, they immediately began to collect money in full swing, and some of them were more measured, like Chen Dakang, who only accepted the property and ownerless property of the white-robed army, and did not disturb the people. Some of them are very excessive, and when they find out which family is richer, they fabricate accusations, and they always have to break their wealth to avoid disasters.

Everyone is like this, Lian Zining naturally can't pretend to be high, annoying people, above the officialdom, and the light and dust are the way to survive.

Since Lian Zining was stationed, Wu Yijun was dispersed to various townships in hundreds of households to appease the people, maintain law and order, publicize the imperial court education, and also collect the remaining property of the white-robed army.

After sorting it out, Lian Zining was also quite surprised.

Shandong has always produced gold, Zhaoyuan has the name of Jincheng Tianfu, from the Tang Dynasty on a large scale of gold mining, is to find out the gold this time, it reaches the weight of 1,000 catties, if it is smelted and cast, it is nearly 20,000 taels of gold. Of course, these gold artifacts are quite exquisite, and Lian Zining naturally would not do such a stupid thing, but just ordered them to be treasured, ready to sell them after returning to the capital, and get more.

And the remaining bronze, silver is also very much, the value is even more incalculable, among which there is even a bronze Buddha more than one zhang high, weighing thousands of catties, it is said that it is the white robe army smashed a temple after the collection out, with a batch, there are eight copper, the bronze pillar painted with gold and silver, is the Tang Dynasty Emperor Wuhuang period handed down the thing, is more valuable.

These gold, silver and bronze artifacts are quite large and difficult to carry, so the white-robed army will stay, of course, they are not stupid, they are all packed in boxes, buried in the dry well of a large family in the city, ready to have a chance to retrieve it later. But he didn't expect that these soldiers of Wu Yijun mobilized the masses to find out, and they all cheapened Lian Zining.

In addition to these solid precious metals, there were also 50,000 horses of coarse cloth, 8,000 stone of grain, and a large amount of hay, soybeans, eggs, and other things for the war horses to eat.

And the biggest gain is not the above things, but - the land!

The white-robed army slaughtered the landlords and wealthy merchants, confiscated their land, and gave most of the rest, except for a small part to the poor. The original owners of these lands were almost all killed, and it stands to reason that these fields became Lian Zining's private property. There are as many as 100,000 acres of such land! And in the northern part of Shandong, the water and grass are abundant, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, these lands are all good watered land, even if this year's drought, it has hardly caused much impact, 100,000 acres of good watered land, Lian Zining suddenly entered the ranks of top big landlords.

In the bamboo forest house, Wang Dachun is making a statement.

"In this battle, the total amount of grain and grass, baggage, ammunition, and marching food and salary consumed was 30,000 taels. In the two wars, three hundred and forty-seven brothers were killed in the battle, and each of these brothers received a pension of 100 taels of silver and 50 acres of land, and these brothers were all recipients of the Order of Loyalty and Courage of the First Class, and this year they were to pay their families, 10 taels of silver and 5 stones of rice per household. There were seventy-one brothers who were seriously injured and disabled, and most of them chose to stay in the army and were willing to go to the Invalides' farm to be raised, and these eleven people were to be given fifty acres of land, twenty taels of silver, and a house. These seventy-one brothers, all second-class medal holders, will be given five taels of silver and five stone of rice to each this year. There were more than 300 people who received the Order of Loyalty and Valor of the Third Class, and each of them was also rewarded with five taels of silver. ”

Wang Dachun smashed it and smashed his mouth: "Calculate it all, a total of 100,000 taels of silver will be counted!" ”

"So much?" Lian Zining frowned, but he also knew that what Wang Dachun said was the truth, and this sum of accounts was also clearly understood.

Wang Dachun nodded with a bitter face and opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't dare to mention the opinion of whether to cut the bereavement pension. He knew very well in his heart that Lian Zining had always been kind to his brother, and if he treated him like a brother, how could he agree to cut his pension? I'm afraid that I will be scolded if I say it, so it's better not to be bored.

"How much silver do we have in our army?"

"A little more than 20,000."

"Send it all!" Lian Zining thought for a while and said, "After returning to the army, there will be at least 30,000 taels of silver to replenish it." Well, now you are sending people to Jinan Prefecture, Linqingzhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou and other places to contact the local rich businessmen, and say that we have a large piece of good watered land to sell, and see if they can buy it? ”

"There are many low hills and hills in Laizhou, Qingzhou, there are many saline-alkali lands, Jinan Mansion is surrounded by mountains, and there is not much fertile land. But ......" Wang Dachun blinked: "If this is the case, those who will definitely lower the price, won't we lose money?" ”

Lian Zining smiled and said: "We won't live here for a long time, these lands are useless even if they are in our hands, if they are deserted, let alone sold for money, won't they have to pay for it?" The price is low, it's nothing, we want cash. By the way, you pay more attention to the salt merchants in the three states of Qingdenglai, they are all born in selling illegal salt, and when they have money, they want to buy land and buy real estate, and settle down to become a rich man, these people have money, and they are also urgent, and they can pay a lot of money! ”

"Yes, my lord, I know." Wang Dachun respectfully agreed.

Lian Zining rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "As soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold!" Fortunately, a lot of them were seized this time, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have to be left and right. ”

Lian Zining has strong financial resources, and there are not many Wu Yi soldiers, so he can support the entire Wu Yi army by himself, and he still has a lot of spare strength, but this battle is immediately a little unbearable. Asking for money, rewarding money, brothers who died in battle want to settle down with money, injured people have to be supported, and so on, if it weren't for the seizure of the White Robe Bureau to solve his urgent need, he would really have to move the chaebol's funds.

Lian Zining also knew in his heart that the various pension policies he had formulated were really rich and a bit incredible in this era.

But Lian Zining will not change, because he knows better than anyone why Wu Yijun has such a strong combat power! Only if the commander sells his heart to the soldiers, the soldiers will sell their lives to you!

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a soft voice said, "Master, it's time for lunch." ”

When Wang Dachun heard this, he knew the opportunity to retire, Lian Zining waved his hand, and said: "In the future, you will be busy, Lao Wang, after you are done here, you will return to the capital, establish the Invalids Farm, buy land and build a house, and you will also do it!" ”

Wang Dachun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he knew that this was his own effort to be seen by adults, so he reused himself even more, and hurriedly responded.

Wang Dachun opened the door and saw two women dressed in green clothes outside, who were the Kang sisters.

"I've seen Lord Wang!" The Kangsu sisters had a very good impression of this Wang, who was 'the most unbearable to see others suffering', and hurriedly bent down to salute.

"Oh, I can't help it, I can't help it!" Wang Dachun smiled and waved his hand vigorously: "The two girls are the people around the adults, can they salute us in the future, there is a ** share!" ”

He solemnly returned the salute and left.

Lian Zining smiled and shook his head, this guy.

"I've seen the master." The two girls are slightly blessed.

Lian Zining smiled: "How many times have I said it, our family doesn't have so many rules." ”

Kang Su smiled: "Master, you are not particular, but others are looking at it, and the slave and maid can't embarrass you." ”

The two girls came in and covered the door, Kang Ling stepped forward, put the stack of documents in his hand on Lian Zining's case, and said, "Master, this is the document for yesterday's county affairs, and they are all here." ”

"Hmm!" Lian Zining responded, and was about to look through them, but those documents were suppressed by a slender hand, and when he looked up, he saw Kang Ling's smiling face: "Master, I've been seeing people talking about things all morning this morning, and my body can't bear it if I go on like this, so let's eat first!" ”

A pair of clear big eyes were full of concern, Lian Zining laughed and stood up: "Okay, just listen to Ling'er, eat first!" ”
