245 Flattening the Nest

"Master Su, are you really going to attack the lair of the Wakos?"

When Zhu Pinjin was dragged away, Zhong Daren timidly stepped forward and asked Su Hao.

Su Hao nodded and said, "I didn't know that these would-be robbers were so arrogant that they actually built their nests on my Daming territory. Has Zhong Qianhu ever heard of this? ”

"Uh-uh...... it's just what I've heard, it's too arrogant, it's too arrogant." Zhong Daren said embarrassedly. As a thousand households of Huai'anwei, watching the Japanese invaders build a nest in their own jurisdiction without exterminating it, this kind of thing let the superiors know that he would directly remove him from his official position, how dare he say that he really knew?

"I didn't know about it, so that's it. Now that I know it, wouldn't it be a shame on the court if I don't go to the thieves' den? Su Hao said high-sounding words.

Zhong Daren said: "What Master Su said is extremely true, but our army ...... Although the troops are numerous, they have no choice but to fight for days, and they are already tired of men and horses. ”

Su Hao laughed in his heart, the combined armies of the three parties were more than 2,000 people, and according to Zhu Pinjin's confession, there were only 150 young and strong men in the Japanese Kou, of which nearly 120 had been wiped out in this conflict, and the rest were about 30 people. With 2000 to 30, Zhong Daren also said that he was only afraid of losing, why didn't he go home to nurse the child?

"What does Hu Qianhu mean?" Su Hao turned his head to look at Hu Kaixiang.

Hu Kaixiang said: "It's inconvenient for my brother to talk about this matter." Although the brother also wanted to go straight to the nest of the Japanese Invaders, he had no choice but to lead the river soldiers, which was not the responsibility of the headquarters, so the brothers could not accompany the two of them. The Brotherhood wishes the two of them a victorious and successful start. ”

This benevolent brother has a very pragmatic idea, and it is a risky thing to kill the widow's lair, and he doesn't need to go to this troubled water. This time, the battle exploits are already big enough, and it is not interesting to add one. It is the wisdom of the ancients to accept it when it is good, Hu Kaixiang can mix with the position of thousands of households, how can he not understand this truth. He said that he was a river soldier and could not participate in the suppression of bandits, which was also a reasonable excuse, and Su Hao couldn't deal with him.

Su Hao originally wanted to inform these two, but he was not surprised to get a negative answer from them. He smiled and said, "Well, then the little brother understands." Everyone has worked hard today, so it is better to camp and rest earlier, and it is not too late to discuss the matter of leveling the nest of the Japanese invaders tomorrow. ”

"Just according to what Master Su said." Hu Kaixiang and Zhong Daren both nodded in praise.

After this toss, it will be dark. The three troops were camped in the field, and everyone did not forget to send out open and secret sentry posts in case of accidents. It should be said that no matter what the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is, some minimum behavioral norms are still fine, and there is a clear difference from the rabble bandits.

That night, Zhong Daren was the host and held a banquet in Huai'anwei's barracks. All kinds of wine and food were sent by Zhong Daren to ride a fast horse to procure them, and in the face of the great achievement that was about to be obtained, this benevolent brother was also generous and spent a sum of money ruthlessly.

Su Hao and Hu Kaixiang each brought their own relatives and staff to the banquet, and Tian Younian, the general judge of Huai'an Mansion, also participated. Tian Younian heard that more than 100 Japanese were wiped out in the First World War, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic, such a record was achieved when he was personally present, and even if it could not be his achievement in the future, at least it could be regarded as a good talking point.

Zhong Daren specially sent an invitation to Xu Guangzu, but Xu Guangzu flatly refused, which made Zhong Daren a little stupid.

This banquet was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts. Especially Zhong Daren, he was even more drunk, and he couldn't even speak. During this time, a personal soldier came in to report the matter to him, and he didn't hear what was going on, so he could only vaguely let the people below watch and do it themselves. Su Hao, who happened to be standing next to Zhong Daren, waved his hand to the soldier and sent the person away, and Zhong Daren immediately forgot that there was such a thing that he didn't understand.

The next day, when the sun was on the third pole, Su Hao sent someone to invite Zhong Daren to the camp of the survey camp and walked into Su Hao's military tent. After the guests and hosts saluted each other and sat down, Zhong Daren hurriedly asked: "Director Su beckoned Zhong to come over, but discussed the matter of sending troops to the nest of the Japanese robbers?" ”

"No, no, no." Su Hao said with a smile, "Please Zhong Qianhu come over, just to inform Zhong Qianhu that last night, my Daming Jian'er had raided the nest of the Japanese Invaders overnight, killing 30 of the Japanese Invaders and capturing more than 70 people, including Zeng Fengxian, a powerful man who fornicated with the Wolves." In this battle, nearly 100 people of the Ming Dynasty who were captured and plundered by the Japanese invaders were rescued, and some of the people have been sent home, and the other part is ready to be brought back to Huai'an Mansion to make a record. As for the captured pirates, they have all been imprisoned. ”

"So fast!" Zhong Daren was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little gloomy, he knew that this battle was so easy to fight, and he shouldn't have pushed it three times or four. Now that the credit has been robbed by Su Hao, he doesn't even have the opportunity to share the credit cheekily.

"Master Su, why didn't you inform my brother of this matter in advance, my brother could have sent some soldiers to go." Zhong Daren said.

Su Hao pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did Zhong Qianhu say this? At the banquet last night, Deputy Deng Qianhu of our battalion received news that the Japanese might have to flee at night, so they went to your department to ask for a joint attack on the encirclement and suppression. Zhong Qianhu agreed at that time, Zhang Yunlong of your ministry led 200 Huai'an guards to act together with our department, and this achievement was jointly achieved by you and me. ”

"Is that really the case?" Zhong Daren's eyes widened, he desperately recalled, and barely remembered that there seemed to be such a plot, when his own soldiers came to tell him something, he seemed to respond impatiently, asking them to "act cheaply". Unexpectedly, with this "cheapness", Zhang Yunlong actually secretly took 200 people out to fight.

"That'...... What are our casualties? Zhong Daren asked.

Su Hao said: "Because of the proper planning and the extremely accurate map provided by Zhu Pinjin, the casualties of your two divisions are not large. I heard that your troops lost five people killed and more than a dozen wounded, and the losses were not too great. ”

Speaking of which, this battle is indeed not a tough battle. The main force of the Japanese has been wiped out by the Kanyu camp, and only some family members are left in the lair. Deng Kui and Zhang Yunlong, with more than 300 people, under the guidance of Zhu Pinjin, went forward overnight and surrounded the nest of the widows.

After throwing two grenades to intimidate the enemy, the Ming army launched a charge, and the resistance of the Japanese was quickly destroyed. If it weren't for the protection of the captured civilians, the Ming army could have used more firearms, and the casualties would have been smaller.

Su Hao only told Zhong Daren about the killing and capture of the Japanese invaders, but did not say that the troops seized a large amount of property in the nest of the Japanese invaders, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Zhang Yunlong, who cooperated with the battle of the survey camp, had already been brainwashed by Deng Kui and promised not to disclose the matter to Zhong Daren.

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Hearing that his troops had not suffered too many losses, Zhong Daren's heart let go and began to rejoice.

Five people were killed and more than a dozen were wounded, in exchange for a great achievement in exterminating the nest of the Japanese Bandits, this account can be worth it. The only thing that made him feel unhappy was this hundred-household Zhang Yunlong, after he went back, did he want to ask him for credit, or did he go to Li Shida to accuse him of the crime of going to war without authorization?

Su Hao said: "Zhong Qianhu, this time, Hu Qianhu's department did not participate, so this battle merit belongs to the two departments." The opinion of the younger brother is half of the family, what does Zhong Qianhu think? ”

"Absolutely, brother has no objection." Zhong Daren said repeatedly. He had seen the combat effectiveness of the Kanyu Battalion, and knew that the main merit of this battle must still be the result of the Kanyu Battalion, Su Hao was willing to share the credit with him equally, what else did he have to say?

Su Hao said: "The widows who were arrested this time are mainly some women and children, and my brother plans to escort them back to Huai'an Mansion for interrogation, but there are too few people and horses in hand, and it is a little inconvenient to escort so many prisoners." The brother wants to have the courage to borrow some soldiers and horses from Zhong Qianhu, can Zhong Qianhu agree? ”

Having said that, it is not appropriate for Zhong Daren to disagree. When people make meritorious contributions, they can think about themselves, but now they just want to borrow some soldiers to escort prisoners, how can they refuse?

"How many people do you want to use in charge of Su, even if you speak, the brothers have nothing to say." Zhong Daren patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you, Zhong Qianhu." Su Hao said, "Since Zhong Qianhu has promised, the brother will let Zhang Baihu and the more than 200 Huai'an guards he brought with him stay in our department for the time being and escort the prisoners for our department." They participated in this battle to level the nest of the Japanese Invaders, and they are more familiar with the situation, and if they change to others, it will be more troublesome, Zhong Qianhu said, isn't it? ”

“…… That's fine. Zhong Daren replied with a smile. He could see that Su Hao had clearly taken a fancy to this Zhang Yunlong and wanted to envelop him in his hands. And this Zhang Yunlong, it is estimated that a heart has already flown to the side of the Kanyu Battalion, otherwise he would not have gone to the war with the soldiers to fight with the Kanyu Battalion in Haiti.

It's okay, Zhong Daren thought, it's just a Zhang Yunlong, Su Hao will take it if he wants, anyway, Zhang Yunlong is not convinced by himself, and staying by his side is also a scourge. With a worthless Zhang Yunlong, in exchange for such a big credit, this deal is quite good.

At this moment, the guards came in to report that the magistrate of Yancheng had received the news, and brought a group of officials, officials and village elders, carrying pigs, sheep, wine and food, and other things, to come to condole. Before the words fell, someone came to report that more than ten people, including the local powerful Hu Yuanchong, were shirtless in the winter, carrying thorns, kneeling outside the camp gate to ask for punishment. Obviously, these people heard that Zeng Fengxian had been arrested, and they knew that they couldn't hide their participation in the money banditry, so they wanted to take the initiative.

Su Hao smiled and let people accept the gift sent by the magistrate of Yancheng, sent the magistrate to meet Tian Younian, and by the way, asked the official brought by the magistrate to lock Hu Yuanchong and the others, and prepared to take them back to Huai'an Mansion to listen to the fate of Han Wen.

defeated the provocative bandits and eliminated the pirates who had been entrenched for many years, and the purpose of Su Hao's trip had been achieved. For those peasants who complained, Su Hao instructed them to go directly to their respective villages and find the powerful landlords who had forcibly occupied their land to claim their land back. Su Hao believes that after the news of this battle spreads, no matter how fierce and powerful the landlord is, he will not dare to speak hard anymore, and no one will offend Huai'an Mansion and him Su Hao for the sake of a few acres of land.

The three teams of the survey battalion, the river soldiers, and the Huai'an guards returned to Huai'an Mansion in a mighty way, and beside the team, they led hundreds of bandits, widows and their families with long ropes. Zeng Fengxian, Hu Yuanchong and others were treated a little better, and each of them was assigned a prisoner car like a chicken cage, but they didn't have to walk by themselves.

Everywhere the procession passed, peasants who had suffered from bandits and bullying by powerful landlords rushed to tell each other and watched from the streets, and many of them spat and threw stones at the prisoners.

The landlords in the villages along the way were like lost dogs, they forced their smiling faces, put on a banquet, took out gold and silver to work in the army, and repeatedly condemned Zeng Fengxian as the scum of the squire, and said that they would strictly abide by the decree of the government, immediately check their own acres, and accept punishment in order to seek rehabilitation.

The team was still on the way, and the messengers sent by Huai'an Mansion, Hedao Mansion, and Huai'an Wei had already taken fast horses and flew towards the capital. The fastest reading novel is the big master, read the book, welcome to log in.kanshu.la Read the full article!
