As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of pigs resisting, you are afraid of pigs scurrying, and this sentence is not wrong at all when used in military households at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A full one or two thousand soldiers can rob the peasants, and they can shake their majesty when they encounter a small group of rogues, but when they encounter the elite old camp of rogues, they will collapse at the touch of a button, not to mention that there are artillery under Li Jing.

Saying that military households are soldiers can be regarded as exalting them, and the military households that practice every seven days or ten days are not much different from the peasants who farm the land on weekdays, and even they are more bitter than the peasants, at least the peasants are divided into self-cultivated farmers and tenants, and the military households have been military servants for generations, and after the evolution of a whole dynasty, they have been constantly occupied by the military generals, resulting in the fact that at this time, almost all the military land is monopolized by the military generals.

Starting from the top-level capital division yamen, the commander of the guard, thousands of households, hundreds of households encroached down layer by layer, when it was the turn of the military households, there was no decent land at all, they gradually became the private property of the military generals, and the military generals worked hard all year round, and the income was only a few buckets of rice per month (it was actually a stone, but this part of the Wanli Ming Huidian records that this part has also begun to be unstable).

In this case, the young and strong military households with the ability to work began to flee in large numbers, which further aggravated the decline in the combat effectiveness of the military households, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled could not leave the guards, so they could only survive, and the generals did not report at all in order to covet the rations and silver of the military households, but divided the matter themselves.

These three officers and troops in the territory of Shenchi are the representatives of them, you know, this is the defenders of the three passes in the Great Wall, the head of the head, the old camp fort, the octagonal three thousand households, almost the whole army is dispatched, with less than 100 people, the rest gathered together, there are about 1,500 people, and according to the full amount there should be 3,300 soldiers, which is reduced by half.

And most of the military households looted the county seat of Shenchi at this moment, more robbed more than a dozen taels of silver, and less also had two or three taels of silver, and suddenly encountered most of the rogues, without any will to fight, they were unwilling to take their own lives to fight for the generals, and the first wave of artillery bombardment, directly killed and wounded nearly 100 officers and soldiers, such a rapid attack, let them chill, I don't know how many rogues there were, all frightened to turn around and run.

"Chase, don't kill those who surrender!" Li Jing ordered all the troops to pursue on the one hand, and on the other hand, he loudly announced the policy, for this official army, it is the best supplement to his own tuntian camp, where is he willing to let go.

Fortunately, there are a lot of horses under Li Jing's command, plus they are in the upper hand at the moment, their morale is full, one by one, they are like divine help, rushing up, no one dares to stop them, those military households are running with their belongings, and what kind of property is there in the county, it is nothing more than Li Jing couldn't take the rest before, and they are reluctant to throw it away at this moment, so they run slowly.

I heard Li Jing's subordinates shouting to surrender and not kill, and they simply couldn't run away, so they began to stop in place one by one, squatting on the ground, and holding their belongings to their chests, and then raised one hand to surrender, this is not an exception, many military households are holding property in one hand and surrendering with the other, and the soldiers who are chasing behind them are stunned for a while.

This fucking guy really wants money and doesn't want to die, even if he surrenders, he still protects his belongings, has he never seen money?

"Hold them down first, and don't have to touch their belongings." Li Jing waved away those soldiers who wanted to go up and collect their property, looking at the military households who did not dare to resist when they fought, but dared to resist for their property at this moment, there was silence for a while, these people have a hard time on weekdays.

I also thought that it would be good for them to live hard, so that they could be instigated to join the gang, continue to grow, and wait until the day when the time is ripe to completely overthrow this mediocre court and complete their own ideals.

Thinking like this, Li Jing forced all the departments not to touch the property of the military households, and promised to belong to them, one can quickly break the fighting spirit of the military households, and the other can prevent his own troops from corrupting military discipline due to disorderly looting, so that the orders will be passed on one by one.

Sure enough, I saw that this order was conveyed, but after a while, most of the entire fleeing military household team began to reflexively surrender, only those thousands of households, hundreds of households and the general banner were still fleeing, Li Jing didn't need the surrender of these generals at all, and directly ordered the cavalry to continue the pursuit, shooting with three-eyed bows and arrows, and constantly shooting the fleeing generals......

When he arrived at the lost and recovered Shenchi County, Li Jing looked at the struggling people outside the city gate angrily, saying that they were cheap, but he couldn't say it, after all, when he first came to his family, he also robbed the big households of the entire city, although he did not rob small households, but he was still hated by these people.

But when they came for the second time, how dare these people gather at the city gate to meet them? Li Jing was very sure that it was to welcome, because these people elected an old man to come up at this moment, and they were not afraid of themselves, so they directly arched their hands and made a gesture, "General Gao Yi, I entered the city before, and I didn't move the small people, I am sincerely afraid, and I feel deeply benevolent and righteous. ”

Saying that, the old man asked someone to hand over an iron plate, which was covered with a red cloth, Li Jing smiled left and right when he heard this, and reached out to get the red cloth, but when he saw it, he inevitably muttered in his heart, and when he thought of it, he was sad, this is the Chinese people.

"The general will take it, I will discuss it with them again, and I will come when I get together, and I will come when I get together." The old man saw that Li Jing's face changed, and he thought that he was not satisfied with these broken silver, and he thought in his heart, but he sighed secretly, on such a day, how can I get it, there are bandits on the front foot, and there are official bandits on the back foot, if you don't give it, you will rob it, and if you rob it, you will kill it, you really can't get by.

Without waiting for Li Jing to answer, he returned to the crowd by himself, and as soon as he said this, the whole crowd was in a commotion, you must know that Li Jing entered the city before, although he did not loot them much, but the officers and soldiers who followed up behind robbed them instead, whether it was rations or household goods, they lost a lot.

Although they live in the city, they are not big families after all, they can't withstand such a toss, and the money they gave to Li Jing to buy their lives is also scraped together, although there are only thirty or forty ingots of broken silver, the total amount is less than one hundred taels, but this is their last property, if they want to go out again, they have to take out the last life-saving money, so they might as well die.

Thinking like this, there were those who were bold and wanted to resist, but looking at the groups of soldiers who strode into the city neatly, the dark and shining swords and guns immediately frightened them, and they did not dare to act rashly.

"There is no need for this, this bit of silver, go back, I have defeated the official army, and recovered all the looted goods of your families, and I will wait for me to enter the city later, if you have lost your belongings in your family, just go to the county government to find me." Just as they were considering whether they should grit their teeth and get together more, Li Jing rode into the city, passed by the crowd, and dropped a sentence.

Not to mention that Li Jing didn't want to do anything to the peasants at all, even if he started to loot the whole city, he wouldn't target these honest people, so many big families couldn't rob them, not to mention that everyone was offended, how could they achieve great things? At present, the first task of the country is to settle the conquered cities, and the inhabitants of these cities can live and work in peace and contentment, and when they get used to their own rule, then they will be able to establish themselves in the local area.

In this way, Li Jing left the stunned crowd and went directly into the city, ordering all the captives to be guarded first, and allowing them to carry the looted property, to stabilize them first, and to wait for careful consideration, but now it was too late to move the troops, so he ordered to bury the pot and make food, and settle on the spot......
