Chapter 378: The Mansion Raised Private Ding
When Ying Zongwei and his entourage arrived in front of the West Gate, they saw a scene that they would never forget. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The chaotic soldiers who show off their might on weekdays and have no one to control, those who are feared by everyone, are surrounded by three shield walls and one wall of the Yong'an Army in a small open space, rushing left and right, and no one can rush out no matter what.
The shouts of killing gradually evolved into the screams and begs for mercy of the rebels, but the Yong'an army still did not spare the slightest hand, and the army moved forward steadily.
The soldiers of the Yong'an Army are all battle-hardened, or have been thieves for many times, or have been defending for many years, or they have fought with Xiao Yi.
They all know that these people are scared by themselves at this time and beg for mercy, and in the blink of an eye, they may become white-eyed wolves, and turn to harm the people, and the losses will be even more serious.
Under this general trend, some of the rebels begged for mercy, and some of the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry.
A column of shield formations of the Yong'an Army continued to move forward, and there were a few spear tips flashing with cold light stretched out in the gap of the shield array, and seeing the chaotic soldiers rushing in front, the armor commander of this armor raised the steel knife in his hand.
"Top shield!"
Accompanied by the voice of the commander of the armor, several sword and shield men in the forefront of the Yong'an Army stepped forward one after another, and when they were about to contact the rebels, they raised the big shields in their hands violently and hit the rebels' bodies, hindering their charging momentum.
The pikemen in the back were not idle, and rushed out in rows, their tiger guns constantly stabbing forward.
Even the powerful Jurchen Tartars have never broken through the steel shield array of the Yong'an Army, let alone these chaotic soldiers in front of them who are not even comparable to the Mongols.
The formation of the Yong'an Army was like a 'mouth' word, constantly shrinking in the shouting of killing, whether it was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy or rising up to resist, all of them were poked out of the blood holes all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground weakly.
If there are rebels in the place where they pass and they do not lose their breath, they will be shot by the pikemen behind the shield array.
At this time, Ying Zongwei, Cai Jiahe and others and Xiao Yi had slowly climbed onto the wall of the West Gate, looking from high to low, which made them even more silent.
Even the vicious rebels who he was afraid of had no power to resist in the hands of the Yongan Army, Ying Zongwei was frightened at the same time, and at the same time, he also understood the meaning of Xiao Yi letting himself and others come, and he couldn't stop trembling when he stood beside Xiao Yi.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Liqing strode up the city wall, turned a blind eye to Cai Jiahe and others, hugged his fists and said: "General, the rebellion has been pacified, and my Yong'an army has injured four people, but no one has been killed!" ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yi seemed to be expected, and after nodding, he said to Wang Hui, the commander of the standard camp who had been following closely by his side.
"Ordered Huang Yang, Shi Lu, and Zhou Baotai to lead the first and second battalions and the cavalry battalion to thoroughly investigate the city, and Liu Sheng and Shi Gang took the flying cavalry battalion and the third battalion out of the town to thoroughly investigate the ten miles in radius."
After Wang Hui received the order and left, Xiao Yi looked at the corpses under the city and said to Yang Liqing: "You take the soldiers of the fifth battalion to dig a big pit in the Nanshan Mountain, and transport the corpses in the city to bury them as soon as possible, so as not to breed epidemics." ”
"Gu Lin, you bring the baggage battalion to assist!"
Gu Lin and Yang Liqing glanced at each other, they were all refugees from other places, and they naturally knew the horror of the plague, and they were also clenching their fists at the moment.
"The last general will take the order!"
Seeing that Xiao also issued various military orders in an orderly manner, Cai Jiahe and others finally understood that they had been deceiving themselves all along.
Xiao Yi, who won the great victory of Linghe and repeatedly defeated Jiannu, how could he be a general!
Looking at the back of Xiao Yi standing on the city wall with his hands in his hands, coupled with what Fang Cai had seen and heard, Cai Jiahe, Ying Zongwei, Jin Zuoshi and others were all cold, and they couldn't mention the slightest thought of confronting him.
From the rapid dispatch of troops to the current encirclement on all sides, pacifying thousands of officers and soldiers to bomb the camp, the Yongan Army did not have one person injured but only slightly injured four people, what kind of combat power is this!
On the evening of the Spring Festival on February 20 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, thousands of officers and soldiers in Datong Town bombed the camp because they were dissatisfied with the disarmament order, endangering the army and the people.
The chaos was extinguished in an instant, and the rebellious soldiers were annihilated by the Yongan army in the small city west of the town.
……
The bombing of the camp by the officials and soldiers of the town city could not be stopped, and Xiao Yi had no intention of blocking it at all, so he simply went to Beijing to see how Chongzhen would deal with it.
Since then, it has only been less than half a month, and this matter has spread throughout Datong like a wind, and there is a way that good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Now this is the truth, within half a month, the incident of the bombing of the camp by the officers and soldiers of Datong Town actually spread to the Beijing Division, and the rumors continued.
But most of them were rumors about the Yong'an army quelling the chaos so quickly, and the rebels saw the Yong'an soldiers like a mouse and a cat, and they had no power to resist.
Under the divergent opinions, the people of the Yongan Army are simply described as heavenly soldiers, each of whom can defeat ten with one.
Even above the court, the court meeting for two consecutive days was to discuss this matter.
At first, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard about the bombing of the camp, and the courtiers were helpless, but when they were anxious, there was a note from the town.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yishang's recital, Chongzhen hurriedly opened it, and after reading it, he first laughed, then frowned, and then groaned, so that the courtiers couldn't understand Chongzhen's meaning at all.
Almost all the generals who caused this disaster were killed by Xiao Yi, and even the rebel officers and soldiers were annihilated in the town, which was really dealt with quickly and decisively, without the slightest drag.
Xiao Yi can't be blamed for this matter, but the pot still has to find someone to carry it.
So, on March 4 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a eunuch and several horsemen set off from Beijing and will arrive at Datong Town five days later.
…
At the end of the Spring Festival rebellion that night, Cai Jiahe knew his fate and ignored the rest of the things, and although Ying Zongwei and others were dissatisfied with Xiao Yi, they did not dare to show the slightest.
After the annihilation of the last former official army in the town, the original Zhencheng generals have been completely eliminated, and Xiao Yi, who has a heavy army, can already be said to be in power in the town.
However, Xiao Yi still did not dare to take it lightly, and that night, on the grounds that the rebels had not been wiped out, he sent the battalions of the Yong'an Army to break into the mansions of those wealthy families with a tough attitude.
Xiao also clearly knew that if he wanted to take back the land around Datong Town and distribute it to the people and the homeless, he would have to deal with these families.
If you want to deal with these families, now is the best time!
Of course, if Xiao Yi really checks it at a glance, he will naturally not find anything, these wealthy families are all old and cunning people, and they have already hidden the relevant things cleanly, just waiting to see Xiao Yi's jokes.
How could they not know such careful thoughts, but the town of Datong on the night of the Spring Festival has been strictly controlled by the Yong'an Army, and the civil officials can't leave the city at all.
In addition, the rebellion just now has not been wiped out, and there is still a rumor in the city, and it is not up to Xiao Yi, the commander, to decide what charges these people will make.
Xiao Yi made up his mind that night, even if he was charged with forcible security, these people must be confiscated!
Needless to say, these wealthy families have their own families and servants in their mansions, but the number of these families and servants surprised Xiao Yi and the others.
For example, Shi Gang's 3rd Battalion was responsible for raiding the mansions of five local wealthy families, but when they rushed in, they saw not panicked servants, but guards wearing simple armor and armed with sabers.
The equipment of the families in these mansions is actually much better than that of the rebel army outside, and there are also a lot of people in each mansion, and Shi Gang is responsible for raiding the more than 20 local wealthy families.
Together, there are more than 1,000 people, this is not the category of families, although these wealthy families are famous and wealthy, but they do not have the authority to lead soldiers, according to the law is the crime of private soldiers.
The accidental discovery made Xiao Yi's investigation of the family reasonable.
"All provinces have private livestock, ranging from dozens to hundreds, which endangers the town very much! I have to check! ”
These family members are far from enough compared to the soldiers of the Yong'an Army, but in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Xiao Yi directly moved the Hudun cannon out, but whenever he encountered resistance, he was bombarded at the closed door of the mansion.
After that, the bird's gunners shot inward, and finally the Yong'an soldiers entered in formation, and after a brief fight, they began to search.
Now every time the remnants of the wealthy clan in the town mention this, they are full of cold sweat, and they are full of joy.
When the people talked about it, they were smiling, and everyone said that although they had a bad Spring Festival, they finally had a good day that they were looking forward to, and this kind of Spring Festival was what they really hoped for!
