In the frightened eyes of the Gao family, Gao Xunqi was tied up by Wuhua and escorted to Zhao Yan, Gao Xunqi twisted his fat body and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!" What are you doing! ”

"Gao Xunqi, are you guilty?" Zhao Yan asked. Gao Xunqi's face was pale, and he looked at Zhao Yan who spoke up, and saw that this was a young man.

"You and I have no grievances, if you want money and food, what do you want to do? Gao is a person who is a person in the court, what is the crime? Gao Xunqi said angrily.

"No grievances? Joke. You said before that you attacked my Zhao family's tundi, robbed my Zhao family of 30 ploughing cattle, and killed more than 10 people of my Zhao family, if you don't take revenge, where is the face of my Zhao family? Zhao Yan laughed and said, "You are the one who is the court, why are you still looting like a bandit?" Now, I will cut you down and send your head to the county seat to report to the official. ”

Gao Xunqi immediately stayed on the spot, originally thinking that Zhao Yan's group of people were just bandits who came to grab grain, and they generally wouldn't do things too much, but he didn't expect it to be the Zhao family forty miles away.

He also had contact with that Zhao Gui, and the two sides had conflicts, and they also called brothers and sisters on the spot, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Zhao Xian's nephew misunderstood!" I am close friends with Ling Zun, and my Gao family didn't know that it was a person from the Zhao family, if I knew, I wouldn't have acted like this. ”

"Friends?" Zhao Yan's face was stunned, "Even if you are a close friend, Gao Xunqi is an evil place for you, and the sky will not allow you." Come. ”

Behind Zhao Yan, Jia Ding suddenly stepped forward.

"Drag me down and cut it down." Zhao Yan shouted.

"Yes!" Jiading took the order and directly dragged Gao Xunqi up, Gao Xunqi hissed and shouted, but to no avail, and after a while, Jiading came back with a hideous head.

Those people of the Gao family were trembling, and Zhao Yan ordered again: "There are several crimes, and the first village and village will be shocked and small." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yan got up from his seat, walked in front of the Gao family surrounded by his family, and said in a loud voice, "Who is the chief of security?" ”

"The villain is the chief of Gaojiazhai." An old man with gray hair stepped forward and answered.

"As a security chief, you have poor supervision and connived at the disciples of the Gao family to follow the bandits. From now on, my Zhao family will send someone to serve as the chief of security, and you will care for the elderly at home! Zhao Yan said directly, ignoring the reaction of the Gao family.

"The villain obeys." The chief of the guard is a highly respected member of the Gao family, and the Gao family is self-protective, but it is not within the jurisdiction of the government, "Dare to ask Zhao Gongzi, how do you deal with my Gao family?" My Gao family's bandits are really the work of Gao Xun Qiwei's subordinates, and I hope that Zhao Gongzi will see it. ”

"The first evil has been eliminated, I will not pursue your crimes, and in the future, I can cultivate with peace of mind under the rule of my Zhao family." Zhao Yan replied, and hundreds of Gao family members immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zhao Yan asked them to return their belongings, and let the Gao family go home. The Gao family didn't dare to make a mistake this time, and immediately went to collect the corpses of the clansmen.

……

At noon, everything was dealt with clearly, and Zhao Yan took people back to Zhaojiabao. The proceeds of this battle were preliminarily counted, and 300 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 12,000 mu of land, and 3,000 stones of grain were seized. In addition, there were hundreds of mules, thirty-four horses, one hundred oxen, and a number of weapons.

The weapons used by the Gao family were all built with a lot of money, and the clan soldiers were equipped with thirty-four horses. There were a lot of mules and ploughing cattle, all of which were accumulated from looting.

One person was killed in this battle, and he was attacked by the people of the Gao family.

With a large amount of supplies, he returned to Zhaojiabao in the evening. Everyone in Zhaojiabao had already heard the good news and came out to greet them.

Zhang heard that his son was a sword soldier, and he hid in the Buddhist hall and kept chanting scriptures. Zhao Quan asked people to prepare the food early.

Zhao Yan handed over Gao Xunqi's head to Zhao Quan, and asked him to send people to various villages tomorrow to pass on the head. Zhao Quan immediately arranged manpower overnight and determined the route.

At night, Zhao Yan gathered his subordinates and held a summary meeting to summarize the experience of this battle.

This battle showed a lot of problems, such as the structure of the army was too homogeneous, and the pikemen broke away from the team to chase the enemy.

The pikeman's biggest support is the phalanx, with the phalanx can stand undefeated, if the battle pursues the enemy, once the enemy counterattacks, it will fall into a crisis, and may even be defeated.

But the structure of the army was too homogeneous, and it could only pursue the enemy with pikemen.

Dealing with those rabble bandits is naturally not a problem, but if it is against the Manchu cavalry, it is very likely to be destroyed.

But there is also a problem, and that is that the training is not enough. At the beginning of the battle, the queue was barely passable, but the queue at the back became unclear and disorganized.

The training is still not enough, after all, the time to become an army is still short.

After reviewing these issues, Zhao Yan began to hand out the rewards for this battle. In terms of reward, Zhao Yan also set a regulation, and the share of the reward is one-third of the seized movable property. The other third goes to civilian administration, and one-third to military spending.

The seized properties were not included in the list of immovable property.

The reward is twice as much as the first merit, 1.5 times for the commander, and no reward for those who violate military law in battle.

The first merit of this battle belonged to Zhao Yan himself, so this reward was evenly distributed, and each family member got eight taels of silver in their hands, and Zhao Yong, Lin Yi, and Wang Wenyue got ten taels of silver.

The family members who got the silver were all happy, especially those who had just become family members, and they were even more excited.

They have not been in the Zhao family for a month, and before they have received the money, they have already received a large amount of silver.

"This great victory, but we can't take it lightly, and there are still many enemies to face in the future. A month later, if you can't keep up with the training, you will be eliminated from the ranks of the family members and go to the tundi to farm! Zhao Yan announced in public, "At least thirty people will be eliminated, or even more." ”

The family members who were very excited just now were suddenly poured cold water, and their faces became solemn, in the Zhao family, they were definitely well paid, if they became one of the thirty people, they would have to return to their original form.

"In addition, if anyone thinks that they have more money in their hands and runs to participate in gambling**, then they can also go to farming." Zhao Yan said coldly.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Yan asked.

"Understood." All the family members replied in unison.

"Okay, adjourn."

……

The next day, Zhao Yan took his family early in the morning and held a funeral. The burial is the family who died in Gaojiazhai.

"Li Dagou, a soldier who died in battle, has no family members alive. Li Dagou's family died in the famine, and the silver will be used to help the victims, all of them, silent mourning. Zhao Yan said loudly.

Everyone immediately bowed their heads and was silent, mourned for three minutes, and offered flowers before announcing the dissolution and two days of holiday.

What Zhao Yan did was just to tell them. If you die, the Zhao family will help you bury it, sweep the tomb and burn paper money every year, which is indispensable to dispel their concerns.

As long as the soldiers are not afraid of death, why worry about not being able to stabilize the world.
