Chapter 108: Recuperate

In the afternoon of the same day, Dengzhou Town completed the screening of prisoners, and retained 500 ordinary homeless people who had just joined the gang, and more than 300 orphans in Shanxi and Henan who were in their teens. Then the town of Dengzhou relaxed its perimeter, and made it clear that it would stop providing relief porridge and rice, and after the more than 10,000 displaced people who had been captured, they began to leave one after another, picking up the household bedding on the ground, etc., and most of them dispersed in one night.

There are also those who insist on refusing to disperse, among which there are thousands of women who have been taken captive, Chen Xin has a headache about how to arrange these women, more than 1,000 in Linxian County have not been settled, and more than 1,000 here are here, after all, he is not charity, there is not so much food to feed so many people, I just hope that these women will disperse on their own, how do you know that they are very determined, they have built their own nests one mile away from the camp, and they stay like this without food, but there is a fire at night, I don't know what they are cooking and eating.

On the second day, Xuan Mo's standard battalion arrived at the battlefield, and after they confirmed the results of the battle, they left in a hurry, and all the departments got the news and rushed to the battlefield. By the afternoon, the battlefield had been completely cleaned, and all the useful things were loaded onto the captured carts.

Early in the morning of the third day, Chen Xin and Ma Xianglin took more than 10,000 pairs of ears on the road, Geng Zhongming and Ma Xianglin volunteered to be pioneers, Ma Xianglin left the silver tickets and jewelry in the small bag by himself, and the silver was distributed, and each soldier was divided into two taels.

However, they were more envious of the Dengzhou soldiers, the two armies were on duty together in the vicinity for the past two days, and the clothing, equipment and appearance of this army opened the eyes of the Sichuan army, and they heard that the Dengzhou soldiers never withheld the soldiers' salaries, and these Tusi soldiers almost thought that they had heard it wrong.

The stone pillar soldiers are actually Tusi soldiers, and most of them have no personal freedom. The mountains of eastern Sichuan tempered their strength and simplicity, but this time after aiding Liao. They also came into contact with a lot of the decadent atmosphere of the Ming army, which somewhat affected their mentality, and the Guan Ning army had a lot of exclusion of this strong army close to the elbow, and the Sichuan army occupied Liao salary in Jizhen and rarely gave filial piety, so Qin Yiming proposed to return to the town. The court agreed.

Now getting along with the Dengzhou soldiers, these Sichuan soldiers found that this group of people and horses was indeed very unique, and both sides had a good impression, and many of Chen Xin's miraculous deeds began to circulate in the Sichuan army.

Dengzhou Town was behind the tail hall of the team, and unlike when they came, there were many more horses and mules and carts in the queue. The rickshaws were also pushed by the homeless people in the middle, and some of the rickshaws also had old children sitting on them.

TongguΓ² screened more than 500 Dingkou and more than 300 orphans, including more than 2,000 Dingkou's family members, who helped the old and the young to walk in the middle. The changes in the past two days really made these homeless people feel like they were in a dream, and when they first saw the Dengzhou soldiers, they thought that they would definitely be beheaded by these people to repay their merits. As a result, after the battle, these officers and soldiers became less vicious, and they were given porridge and rice. Kind-talking officers and soldiers came, divided the captives into groups, and some soldiers came and reassigned them to their respective battalions, and then they reported and exposed each other, and at last there were only about 500 people left. There were also a lot of orphans, but many of them had relatives and friends killed in the night attack, and none of them were left in Dengzhou Town, and in the end there were about 300 people left.

There is also a tail in the back, that is, the thousands of women, and some homeless people who do not want to leave, they follow behind by themselves, Zhao Xuan and other instructors persuade them all the way, let them leave on their own, and make it clear that Dengzhou Town will not provide food again. But those who have been hungry for a day are very determined.

Wang Mafu sent a group of cavalry to block the road, and these people cried loudly on the road, and when the army was far away, the cavalry also left, and these people burst out with amazing energy. It only took an hour to catch up with the back of the line.

"My lord, they are catching up again, do you want to send cavalry to disperse." Wang Mafu said to Chen Xin.

Chen Xinzheng talked to Zhu Daichun and Zhong Laosi about the new dragoon troops, and after listening to it, he ran out of the queue, raised the telescope and looked at the back for a while.

Zhong Laosi muttered: "These people look so thin, how can they walk so fast." ”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly came and saluted Chen Xin: "My lord, or let them eat again, we have seized a lot of food." ”

Zhu Daichun said coldly: "We have to keep those grains to eat, do you know how difficult it is to supply in Henan." ”

Chen Xin asked softly, "How many people are left?" ”

"The original six or seven percent looked."

Chen Xin sighed softly, "Stop again, if you can keep up, slowly transfer to Lin County." ”

This is another selection of the laws of nature, the body will almost be abandoned, and those who can persevere, at least the will is very tenacious, and the physical fitness is also good, and it will not be without harvest when used to farm. Dengzhou Town can't save everyone, these officers know very well that if they take in all the homeless, they will only drag down the logistics in the end, and then the homeless people will continue to be rogues.

Zhong Laosi suddenly said: "There is a general's family here." ”

Several people looked in the direction of Zhong Laosi's telescope at the same time, and a group of about 100 cavalry came out behind the ruins of a village in the distance.

The cavalry of the two banner teams of Dengzhou Town quickly lined up facing south, and the vigilant sentry horses also ran around the group of men and horses, and the officers and soldiers slowed down after seeing the situation here, and did not send someone to report, but turned around and slowly moved closer to the women and homeless people behind.

Zhao Xuan looked at them, and knew what these people were thinking, and he said a little anxiously: "My lord, these family members are going to kill the good and take the risk." ”

The men and women who were desperately chasing after them, they also saw that the officers and soldiers were screaming in panic, and they were running faster under their feet, but they did not scatter and flee, but were bent on leaning to the side of Dengzhou Town, and they could see that they already had a kind of trust in Dengzhou Town.

Zhu Daichun and Wang Mafu did not speak, in fact, it was best for this team of officers and soldiers to disperse those women and homeless people, although they may have been killed, but Dengzhou Town did not even have a moral responsibility, Zhong Laosi kept rolling his eyes, and secretly glanced at Chen Xin's expression.

After a while, Chen Xin said lightly, "Send a few soldiers to carry the flag to protect the people, we are officers and soldiers, and it is our duty to protect the people." ”

Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Mafu next to him immediately gave an order to the military judge, and after a while, several horseback townsmen rushed to the back, each carrying a four-foot triangular military flag of Dengzhou Town.

Several of the pacifiers scattered and stood on the south side of the displaced people, the pennant in their hands waving in the wind. The flying tiger above is very majestic. The group of family members stopped a hundred steps away from the Dengzhou Zhenfu soldiers, and did not dare to move in the face of the scattered Zhenfu soldiers.

Many of the marching soldiers were keeping an eye on the cavalry to see if they dared to rob people by force.

The team hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and walked west, while the soldiers from Dengzhou Town continued on their way. This little episode did not stop the Dengzhou soldiers.

"Dog thing, I thought I would try it, but a few of the townspeople scared away." Zhong Laosi scolded in a low voice.

Zhao Xuan laughed loudly: "They are not afraid of the pacification soldiers, but afraid of our military flag." Our Dengzhou Town has finally become truly famous in the world. ”……

Chen Xin took a large group of refugees and a large number of materials to be carried, and walked forty miles in one day. They set up camp early to rest. At this time, the news of the big victory has spread in Weihui Mansion, and some Henan villages encountered along the way have a respectful attitude, and the squires inside took the initiative to let people pay some military rations, and some also sent pigs and sheep.

On the second day of the opening, it was almost dark, and finally returned to the camp. Lu Zhi went out of the camp for five miles to greet him, and this attack was all over. The camp was well defended and well-fed, allowing the tired soldiers to recuperate. The people and horses left behind were thunderous, especially the truckloads of grain and thousands of horses and mules, which were urgently needed for Dengzhou Town.

Lu Zhi was most concerned about the Zijin Liang, and when he returned to the camp, he personally went to the carriage to see the prisoners, and the Zijin Liang was tied up like a zongzi, and Lu Zhi closed his eyes when he asked him questions.

Lu Zhi was very careful about confirming Zijin Liang's identity. His first good news had been sent, saying that he had won a great victory, but that he had only said that he had captured Zijin Liang alive was to be verified. Chen Xinyu Lu Zhi kept looking for people everywhere to confirm, and he was dealing with the aftermath for several days in a row, and more than 170 people were actually killed in Dengzhou Town in this battle. More than 400 were wounded, but Chen Xin reported thousands of casualties to Lu Zhi and Xuan Mo, and he could not continue to fight in the near future.

The morale of the Ming army in Weihui Mansion was greatly boosted, and Xuan Mo wanted to take Zijin Liang away, but was rejected by Lu Zhi in person, only saying that he didn't know whether it was true or not. Of course, Xuan Mo knew what was going on, and was stimulated by this, and took Zuo Liangyu, Deng Xi, and Henan Biaoying to Huaiqing, trying to eliminate the Liukou, while Jingying commanded himself, and several large armies arrived at Xiuwu first, and then went to Huaiqing Mansion to rescue Fucheng from a semi-besieged state.

All the streams of the gangsters suffered this slap from Dengzhou Town, the losses were very heavy, and the momentum was very low for a while, and many small streams of gangsters were frightened, turned around and went back to the north of Taihang Mountain, and fled back to Shanxi. A large number of Chuang Wang, Cao Cao and other troops went to Jiyuan, and the adventure activities were still around the capital of Huaiqing Mansion, and the displaced people released by Chen Xin were taken in by them in large numbers, and their strength expanded significantly, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were one of them.

On the 29th, the army began to take turns off, and every day one thousand headquarters were on duty, and the others rested. Chen Xin convened a meeting of officers at and above the general level, and the military judges and quartermasters accompanying the team reported on the seizures of the operation.

The two thousand three hundred horses were seized, including 600 war horses, 1,200 mules, 500 two-wheeled chariots, 1,300 manpower two-wheeled and unicycles, 3,700 stone of grain, 500 stone of beans, about 700,000 taels of silver, 6,000 pieces of jewelry, and silk and cotton cloth worth 200,000 taels of silver.

In Dengzhou Town, more than 570 people were killed and wounded, and in terms of equipment losses, 10 percent of the guns without bayonets were damaged, 30 percent of the stabs were lost, and 40 percent of the bayonets and flintlock muskets were damaged, and three of them were broken bayonets or sleeves. Although the fifth battalion was a basic reserve, it still could not be compared with the most elite veterans, and the fire support in the late offensive was less than half of that at the beginning. All kinds of problems are recorded, including all kinds of situations encountered during night raids, which can only be improved in training, and it is impossible to avoid them completely.

Chen Xin announced the short-term plan for the future, all departments entered a rest, escorted the displaced people back to the Linxian base in batches, Zhong Laosi's second general reorganization into dragoons, 500 war horses were also transported back to Linxian, and Dengzhou successively replenished the cavalry reserves, and the original cavalry was reorganized into the fifth battalion cavalry thousand headquarters, strengthening the combat effectiveness of the fifth battalion, and turning the fifth battalion into a mixed battalion.

On the 29th, Lu Zhi borrowed two of the original Wang Jiayin's righteous sons from Zuo Liangyu, and finally confirmed that Zijin Liang was real, wrote a detailed good report to Jingshi, and sent someone to send it to Jingshi, which is not far from Beijing, and the road in Beizhili is also very good.

When the good news was sent, Chen Xinzheng summoned Wang Erya and Song Wenxian alone, Wang Erya came from Huaxian County, Chen Xin was overwhelmed by the guerrilla warfare of the Liukou some time ago, and began to know the difficulty of suppressing the bandits, and now the combat area is still limited to a small piece of northern Henan, if the Liukou break into the vast Central Plains, it is difficult for an army of this model in Dengzhou to pursue the Liukou without robbing. Therefore, Chen Xin still asked Wang Erya to strengthen the commercial network of the Daimyo's Mansion, Wang Erya has been busy with this matter recently, she has tried her best to hoard a batch of grain in Huaxian and Jun County, which can support the expeditionary force at any time.

Chen Xin asked Wang Erya to transport most of the jewelry away and sell it in shops around the country, Wang Erya has done a lot of this, and the seizure of the Dengzhou Rebellion was also handled, and he hoped that Wang Erya would help resettle some women. Wang Erya didn't even listen to Chen Xin's words, she only promised to place literate people as much as possible.

The trading company has the rules of the trading company, Chen Xin does not force her, most of those women can farm, but they can't be soldiers. After he finished saying this, he asked Wang Erya to go to work first, and Song Wenxian was left alone in the tent.

The two were much more casual between them, Chen Xin gave Song Wenxian and the sea dog a cigarette, the sea dog lit a fire for the two, and the three of them swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog together, talking about things.

Chen Xin asked Song Wenxian, "Mr. Song, has you established a personal relationship with Ma Xianglin and Deng Xi recently?" ”

"I made friends, and I gave some ears and silver taels according to the wishes of the adults." Song Wenxian replied, "My subordinates borrowed a local dialect from the trading company, and I am going to arrange for him to be in charge of the southwest region, but this person has always been in business, and it seems too slippery, and his subordinates are also hesitating." ”

Chen Xin said with a smile: "People in charge of a large area should be safer, but the accent is also very important, and Mr. Song can pay attention to these details, which shows that a lot of thought has been put into it." ”

Song Wenxian said helplessly: "There is no way, the places we have to deal with are getting wider and wider, Shandong, Denglai, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Nanzhili, Liaodong, North Korea, Jingshi, one person under him can't run away, and the Department of Foreign Affairs now has to rely on the trading company for many things, and if we don't cultivate some of our own people, we won't be able to do this work in the future." ”

Chen Xin nodded and said: "That's the reason, the official often feels that there are not many people who can use it, Mr. Song has just arrived, but he has to work hard for Mr. Song to run." ”

Song Wenxian didn't mind and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

"Let's go to Jingshi. The war is important, and the things after the war are also important, so Mr. Song needs to go to Beijing and ask for more things from the Ministry of War. More importantly, the foreshadowing of Qingzhou Mansion has been launched, no matter how we lay out in the field, Denglai is the foundation after all, so this matter is a hundred times more important than Zijin Liang, and Mr. Song must be in charge of this matter in Beijing.
