Chapter 122: Purge
Only a few dozen bandits were flanked by the officers and soldiers before and after, and Wang Dayong led the team to fight hard at night and rushed to the end, and the bandits were all defeated, and they no longer had the heart to resist, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered.

But the soldiers of the Yong'an Army will not let these people go, there is no need for Xiao Yi to order, whether the thieves surrender or not, they will be killed with a knife, and finally Shi Gang will kill the hob meat alone, although Shi Gang is also strong and strong, but he is really strong, I don't know how much more flexible than the fat hob meat, the hob meat is playing, and the soldiers cheered.
After the war, more than 260 thieves were killed in this night, 36 fine horses, grain and grass were counted stones, and more than 300 taels of silver were found in the village, and there were more than 310 pieces of coarse clothes, shoes, cloth hats, more than 60 inferior sabers, wooden sticks and pitchforks.
The damage was also very serious, the whole team of the first sentry and five teams were killed, and more than a dozen people were wounded, of which two were seriously injured, which was also a tragic victory.
----
It turned out that as soon as Shi Gang received Sun Mingguang's order, he did not hesitate to light up a sentry and the other two teams of men and horses rushed to this Tufang Mountain, the two teams of men and horses almost did not stop, even if they arrived at Tufang Mountain, it was already slightly dark, and Xiao Yi had already set off for a while.
Shi Gang had just gone up the mountain, and when he heard the news, he immediately led people down the mountain and ran here along the official road, and just arrived just when he heard the unscrupulous scolding of the hob meat, and finally arrived, and a group of soldiers followed Shi Gang and rushed towards the stunned bandits.
After the war, when the two met and couldn't help but say a bear hug, Shi Gang said with a big grin: "As soon as I received the order of Sun Mingguang, Shi Lu hurriedly asked me to bring someone here, but I didn't expect to arrive by chance!" ”
He turned his head and patted Wang Dayong, who was slightly silent, "Haha, all the thieves killed one and didn't run away, how about the casualties?" ”
Wang Dayong told Shi Gang that another old brother had been killed, and the joy in Shi Gang's heart disappeared after hearing this, and he silently walked to the corpse of the chief on the burden.
"This is the third old brother who came to Datong and died."
Xiao Yi nodded, and Shi Gang said hatefully, "When is this a head, there are fewer and fewer old brothers." ”
Wang Dayong clenched his fists, looked at the corpses on the eleven burdens behind him, and said, "These recruits are also good, none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”
Subsequently, Xiao also ordered that the corpses of the thieves be buried in a large pit to prevent the plague, and the wounded soldiers were carried back to Tufang Mountain to recuperate, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were immediately carried back to the mountain behind Yong'an Fort for burial, and the names were erected and commemorated.
The soldiers of the Yong'an Army cleaned up the battlefield and transported the materials, equipment, and silver back to Tufang Mountain, and after the rest of the cottages in the ditch were captured, they were transported back to Changning Town by hiring some temporary helpers from Changning Town.
At this time, the hob meat is dead, although there are more than 200 bandits in this ditch, but they are distributed in three large and small villages, and the group of insects has no leader, it is difficult to unify the order, and they are all ghosts, and no one is convinced of anyone at this time.
Some of them were shocked when they heard that the officers and men were coming to suppress the bandits, some wanted to surrender, and some wanted to resist.
Xiao also considered that after two consecutive battles, although the soldiers were greatly motivated, they were exhausted, so they recuperated in this Zhuangzi for three days and then calmed the ditch one by one.
Two days later, a remnant cottage of hob meat said that it was going to join the official army, hoping that Xiao Yi would accept their surrender and promise not to rob the house again.
Xiao Yi looked at this surrender with a sneer on his face, these bandits can take the right path, and the sun will rise in the west. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for officers and soldiers to recruit bandits and mountain bandits, and at first the strategy of officers and soldiers for bandits was the same as Xiao Yi's, that is, to exterminate them.
However, it was found that these bandits were not clean, and it was often that they had just been exterminated here, and there were several roads there, and the officers and soldiers were often exhausted, so the officers and soldiers slowly changed their suppression to support.
The pacification effect is not high, the beginning is okay, these bandits will settle down for a while, but once the court cannot provide their 'wages' in time, they will immediately rebel again.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy, how could there be so many silver and two meters of noodles to 'raise' bandits, so the strategy of appeasement failed again, and it also dragged the only savings of the imperial court to run out and go bankrupt, but the problem was still not solved.
But Xiao also knows that even if there is enough money, these bandits will not be honest, once these people become bandits, they are like wild horses that have escaped, and they can never be pulled back, even if they are temporarily trapped, they will run out again if they are not careful, and the damage caused by that time is afraid that the damage will be even greater.
Xiao Yi and the others are discussing, there are three remaining cottages in this ditch, with dozens of people each, and if they are attacked, they may cause unnecessary casualties.
While deliberating, another surrender document arrived, and Xiao Yi immediately made up his mind when he looked at this surrender letter, and discussed it with everyone carefully.
After deliberation that day, Xiao also sent two reply letters, and the sergeant with arrows drew his bow and shot it into the mountain, each of which was the same content, and Xiao also accepted surrender on only one condition, in order to prove their sincerity, they needed to attack the other recalcitrant cottage.
These bandits have long been like frightened birds, I heard that Xiao Yi never accepted the surrender of the bandits, but he knew that the defeat was all his own ghosts, and now Xiao Yi sent a letter back, and the leaders of the two cottages were hesitant.
The authorities were confused, and finally after discussion, coupled with the fact that there were many examples of officials and soldiers accepting the surrender of bandits in the past, they all thought they had succeeded, and they jointly attacked the recalcitrant cottage on the night of the agreement.
But when the fierce battle between the three parties was in full swing, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the rear, and each of them had bandits come to report in a panic, and the two villages were broken by the officers and soldiers, and the two leaders were exclaimed, the officers and soldiers were so untrustworthy? !
The leaders of the two sides were angry and scolded, but it was already too late, and the three sides fought fiercely, each with serious casualties, and was simply unable to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers. That night, the stubborn bandits who had occupied Tujiagou for several years were all wiped out that night, and not one was left to be killed.
"On March 16 of the third year of Chongzhen, Xiao Yi of the Changning Fort management team led more than 100 fort troops to break through the Dafang Mountain Han Lao Liu Cottage and cut 200 ranks. It was night, and the raid on the hob meat was more than 260 levels. Five days later, the remaining three villages were pacified, a total of 640 levels were cut in this battle, the thieves and bandits in the ditch were cleared, and Changning Town was shocked. ”
When the news of Changning Town's mansion reached Taohuabao, Liu Yiming was startled again, and hurriedly summoned the warden Liu Wenchang, the secretary He Dapeng, and the family member Chen Hao to be among them.
Chen Hao is not only an officer of the family team in Peach Blossom Castle, as Liu Yiming's absolute confidant, his status in the castle is even incomparable to some hundred households.
Since Xiao Yi arrived in Changning Town, his actions have been bigger than the other, first dealing with a group of Wang Changliang's subordinates, and then building piers and platforms in the territory, reclaiming wasteland, and absorbing displaced people. This has just been calm for half a month, and he directly sent troops to suppress Tujiagou, and Liu Yiming knew about this Tujiagou.
Wang Changliang reported to him many times, but he didn't pay attention to it, until a few years ago, he just wanted to suppress the bandits, but he didn't listen to the report that Han Laoliu of Tujiagou had been driven out of Tujiagou, and the new leader was called Hob Meat, who was cruel and unkind and lustful and arrogant, and even unified Tujiagou, and the number of people was actually as many as hundreds.
At that moment, Liu Yiming threw this mess to Wang Changliang, but what could Wang Changliang do, the thieves in Tujiagou were much more than all his people combined, so he had to hope that this hob meat would not go out of the ditch.
For so long, no matter how much action the hob meat has made in Tujiagou, as long as it is not Tujiagou, Wang Changliang has concealed it and not reported it, but it is also safe.
Who would have thought that more than 600 people with hob meat would suddenly be wiped out by Xiao Yi with 200 recruits? (To be continued.) )
