These local garrisons are all recruits selected from various units in the boot camp. They will be stationed in the areas recaptured by the army under the leadership of the Biochemical Warrior officers, maintaining local law and order while suppressing bandits. It will also be burdened with monitoring the displaced people who have been settled. As soon as there are signs of recurrence among these displaced people who have been from the bandits, it will be up to the garrisons to suppress them.

Nearly 20,000 regular soldiers were followed by a large support force. This is especially true of the large number of hired men who transport all kinds of supplies. The wages of these men were not low, six denarii per maniac. Let people follow the army to sell their lives in this kind of cold air, how can they do it if they don't have enough money?

Gao Yang is supportive of spending money. The only requirement is to keep the quantity under control and not exceed the capacity of the territory. The money was given to these people, and the army got logistical support, and they didn't have to rely on Gao Yang to be the captain of the transportation brigade all the time. The people got the money, and they were happy to work. And after returning home with money, I will buy all kinds of goods and have a big year. Only after the money is circulated can it be considered money.

Every time the wages were settled, the highly motivated people drove the carts of cattle to crowd all the roads. The roads along the way were full of excrement from cattle and horses, and the smell was stinking. However, the villagers in the villages along the route will soon take all the fertilizer with them. Before I got the fertilizer sent by Kyoshi, these were very important fertilizers in the field. In the past, these things had to be bought with money!

The convoys also carried large quantities of grain and seeds, as well as metal farming implements from the factories. As for the livestock they used to tow the carts, they were also the production materials prepared by Gao Yang. These items will be distributed to the displaced people who have been resettled in various places to restore local production.

These things given by Gao Yang are not free. Although these newly recovered areas will be exempted from taxes for three years. However, in the future, these things issued by Gaoyang still need to be repaid in installments by these displaced people by paying taxes. After all, no matter how good something is, if it is obtained for free, few people will know how to cherish it.

......

A pair of rough hands with black-brown blood stains, blown by the cold cold wind full of dry cracked chilblains, trembled and swept away the thick snow on the ground. A pair of bloodshot cloudy eyes looked at the snow in front of him with hope. Until the snow layer is removed. Reveal the damp dirt that is empty underneath. Li Hu, whose face was covered with frostbite and his pale lips kept trembling, sighed on his back, and his body seemed to have lost all support in an instant, and he fell backwards and fell heavily on the snow.

It's already four!

The officers and cavalrymen with blood-red eyes, like hungry wolves coming out to forage after a whole winter, bit him frantically. Not long after escaping at the foot of Jiming Mountain, the old battalion soldiers led by Li Hu encountered a strong blocking force!

These veteran battalion soldiers are all experienced bandits, they have survived the bloody rain and bloody winds, and each of them is a real elite of a hundred battles. Thousands of veteran battalion soldiers were suddenly hit by fierce fire when they were quickly passing through the foot of Jiming Mountain and preparing to flee to the direction of Datong Mansion.

Countless sharp muskets were shot from a hidden place on the hillside hundreds of meters away, and after the thunderous roar, Li Hu's body was left behind.

Li Hu, who encountered a sudden attack, immediately brought into play the true colors of the peasant army. Desperately whipping the war horse under the crotch, leaning over the horse's back and running out quickly. As for organizing forces to fight back on the spot or something, no one will think about it. In vain, the army of the Great Shun Dynasty is still just a group of rogue groups that can only fight with the wind.

After losing nearly half of the people in a panic, the people who were still alive rushed out with Li Hu. It's just that they didn't escape, and this journey of death has just begun.

In the following days, these core bandits who were named by Gao Yang to demand total annihilation were firmly targeted by the powerful search force of the Dragoon Division.

If the search unit of the light infantry division is the elite selected from the whole army, then the search unit of the dragoon division is selected from the elite of the whole army. In Gao Yang's words. They are the best.

The search force, which numbered less than 300 people, bit these bandits to the death, ruthlessly killing any enemy.

Each of these cavalrymen who did not collect at night took several horses, constantly launching ambushes on the road, and ate the veterans around Li Hu one bite at a time.

And the nerves that were made by the ubiquitous attack were close to the collapse of Li Hu, who couldn't tell the direction. After being struck several times by pre-planted mines. These people left the road to Datong Mansion and scurried around like headless flies. In the end, he was forced to drill out of the gap in the Great Wall and ran to the grassland outside the Saiwai!

How terrifying the Mongolian steppe is in winter is that no one who has not experienced it will never understand. A glance over the prairie. As far as the eye could see, everything was white, and nothing could be seen except heavy snow.

The cold wind was raging and the snow was falling. The extremely cold air made the bandits who were still alive around Li Hu quickly reduce their personnel. If it is white if it snows. The reflection of the sun on the snowy fields would soon make their eyes red and they would cry. This is the first manifestation of snow blindness. And once night comes, the wilderness becomes even more terrifying.

In addition to the fact that the air is colder at night, it can freeze into people's bones. And the hungry wolves with glowing green eyes roaming around! The already hungry wolves dare to attack anything! As long as you can fill your stomach!

Many of Li Hu's men disappeared unknowingly. The cold wind blocked most of the cries for help, and the person who was bitten on the neck could not shout. By morning, there was nothing left.

It's not that Li Hu doesn't want to go back. He had been stationed here in Xuanfu Town for so long, and of course he knew how dangerous it would be to flee on the grassland under this anger. But those officers and soldiers are too ruthless! Like maggots on tarsal bones, they have been chasing them all the time, killing one by one!

Li Hu also organized a counterattack, but they couldn't defeat the official army! After several failures, Li Hu didn't dare to turn around at all.

As for the detour to return home, after being quietly ambushed twice, no one mentioned it again. In this way, Li Hu and his group desperately traveled farther and farther to the north.

Each of these bandits is a good horseman, and on weekdays they will carry at least two or three horses with them, ready to flee if they cannot win. It's just that most of their belongings are some looted yellow and white things, as well as weapons, dry food and water, and there are very few supplies.

But this time, the usual tactics of throwing silver at the officers and soldiers to stop the pursuit of the officers and soldiers on the road did not work. Li Hu and his subordinates threw all the silver and gold they carried on the road, but the officers and soldiers who killed them didn't even look at them, they all stared at them!

In the face of the muskets of the officers and soldiers, whose range and power were extremely terrifying, those sophisticated weapons did not play any role at all.

By the second hour, those who were still alive had already begun to run out of food. The water is fine, there is snow everywhere, just grab it and stuff it in your mouth. But what to eat, these people have no choice.

Although there were tired horses, no one dared to stop to make a fire and barbecue! Those wolf-like officers and soldiers have been following them, and if they fall behind, they will die! Some hungry bandits ate raw meat, but as a result, they vomited and diarrhea, pulled their pants, and fell behind with soreness and weakness in their legs. In the hands of the pursuing officers and soldiers, there was only one way to die. The hungry bandits also robbed their own people of food, completely crushing the already collapsed team.

By the third time, there were only dozens of people left on Li Hu's side. In the evening, they came across a herdsman's tent in the Mongolian steppe, and just as the hungry bandits rushed into the tent with hoarse voices to get something to eat, a pre-planted mine rang out. Here's another trap laid by the dragoons!

Li Hu felt like he was going crazy at that time. He saw with his own eyes that one of his godsons' entire stomach had been blown apart by a horrific explosion, his blue-black intestines dragging to the ground, and his heart still beating in the black water. The bandit cried and begged Li Hu to help him, and he kept crying until he died, and his eyes were still open!

There were also bandits who wanted to surrender to save their lives before, and they couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the ground to surrender. Li Hu and the others watched from a distance as they saw the officers and cavalry who were pursuing all the way galloping past on horseback, and between the swords of the snowy sword, a great head rushed straight under the backdrop of the blood fountain that shot out!

Officers and soldiers don't want to take prisoners, they just need heads! The bandits, in utter despair, collapsed. In the early morning of the fourth, only the last godson was left by Li Hu's side!

And this last godson was killed when Li Hu was leaning against him and preparing to keep warm.

A roaring gunshot, a bullet came from a distance, and hit the head of Li Hu's godson. The entire hard skull was shattered. The miserable white brains mixed with the red blood splashed on Li Hu's face, who was close at hand. Hot splashed his whole face! You can't wipe it off no matter how you wipe it! That weird smell made Li Hu nauseate constantly, and he could only vomit strands of sour water from his stomach, which had nothing in the first place.

Hunger, a kind of torture that humans cannot endure. At this time, Li Hu, who was completely desperate, knelt on the ground, his spasmodic stomach was constantly grunting with sour water, as if a big hand was pulling all the internal organs hard!

"I'm homesick." After half a ring, Li Hu sat up. A desolate expression appeared on his face. He watched as a large group of officers and cavalry slowly approached hundreds of paces in front of him. Li Hu, who felt that he had reached the last step of his life, smiled miserably and muttered in a low voice.

The officers and soldiers with heavy cloaks and black inkstone glasses on their faces raised their muskets towards him! To be continued.
