Chapter 340: The First Army's battle strategy was to grab the silver

Li Twelve snatched food in Dong'an County, and the county commander Lu Zhicheng thought, okay, you can't twist your arms and thighs, so grab it! When you're gone, you'll have to go to the court.

But Li Twelve not only didn't leave, but also called Lu Zhicheng again.

"Lu County Order, now we have food, but we don't have any money!" Li Twelve said politely.

Lu Zhicheng's head flickered for a moment, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "Twelve generals, our Dong'an County is small, where is there any silver!" Please be considerate of the people and spare us! ”

"Hurry up, what are you doing here? I didn't say that I would be paid from here. Li Twelve ordered people to pick up Lu Zhicheng.

When Lu Zhicheng heard Li Twelve say this, he was relieved, and asked, "Where are the twelve generals going to get military salaries?" ”

Li Twelve smiled and said, "Yongzhou, you go with me, you will enter the city as my messenger and ask the prefect of Yongzhou for silver!" ”

Lu Zhicheng's body softened again, and in his eyes, Li Twelve was like a monster!

So, Li 12 left a thousand people in Dong'an County, coerced Lu Zhicheng from Dong'an County, and went to Yongzhou with his soldiers.

Zhang Qinghe, the prefect of Yongzhou, heard about the incident in Dong'an County, and was sending people to inquire whether the news was true, and at this time, Li Twelve's first army came. directly surrounded Yongzhou City.

There have been very few wars in Yongzhou, so the city wall of Yongzhou City is not high, and there is a regimental training envoy in the city, but this regimental training envoy is hereditary, and there is no strategy for soldiers and horses, and he only knows how to eat and drink for a day, and he has never fought at all. Moreover, there are not many people under him. They all ate empty salaries, and now there are only more than a thousand real soldiers. They have never been trained and have no combat effectiveness.

Looking at the first army of Li XII outside the city. The prefect Zhang Qinghe and the regimental envoy looked at each other. What to do? No way.

At this time, Lu Zhicheng of Dong'an Zhi County came.

Lu Zhicheng gave Zhang Qinghe a salute with a bitter face.

"Lu County Order, what's going on outside?" Zhang Qinghe asked.

Lu Zhicheng explained the cause and effect clearly, and finally said to Zhang Qinghe, "My lord, they said they wanted silver!" And he said, "If they do not give money for an hour, they will attack the city." ”

"! Who doesn't know that in Hunan, our Yongzhou is the poorest, how can we have silver? Zhang Qinghe scolded.

"Yes. The lowly office said the same, but they would not. Lu Zhicheng pointed out of the city.

"Humph! If they have money, they will not give it, and see that they are not plotting rebellion. No, fight with them! Zhang Qinghe said angrily.

As soon as he heard that he was going to fight hard, the regimental trainer beside him drooped his head.

Zhang Qinghe glanced around, worried.

However, before he could come up with a solution, he heard someone in the city shouting, "It's on fire, the thieves have entered the city!" I saw fires in Yongzhou City. Then. Bang! Bang! There were a few loud bangs, and the city didn't know what exploded. It turned out that Li Twelve had already sent dozens of fine workers into the city and brought in a few explosive bombs. Wait for this time to explode.

Suddenly, the soldiers and civilians defending the city panicked and fled from the city.

Zhang Qinghe and others couldn't stop it. I had no choice but to start running away.

Li XII's First Army didn't even fight much, and then occupied Yongzhou City.

Because the city of Yongzhou was besieged. Zhang Qinghe and others were arrested.

Looking at a few people whose faces were like earth, and who were running covered in sweat. Li Twelve didn't feel funny, "Oh, a few adults, what are you running?" I don't mean anything malicious! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qinghe couldn't smile bitterly, he occupied Yongzhou, and there was no malice?

"Adults, I just want to get some military salaries, and I don't mean anything else, you don't have to worry." Li Twelve did not mean to kill, because Li Guo had already told him to kill as few people as possible, especially the county order of a county and the prefect of a prefecture, unless the crime was extremely heinous.

Although Li Twelve did not understand Li Guo's intentions, he also resolutely carried it out.

So, just like in Dong'an County, the rich and wealthy households in Yongzhou Mansion were also swept away, of course, this time mainly for silver.

As a result, there was not much silver in the treasury, but those rich families found nearly 200,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Twelve ordered the prefect Zhang Qinghe to lead the whole city to work day and night to completely tear down the walls of Yongzhou City.

Li 12 sternly warned Zhang Qinghe that Yongzhou Mansion must not build another city wall, and if it is violated, there will be no mercy for killing him next time. In addition, the regimental training made more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, all of whom were taken away by Li XII, and were used as auxiliaries and dispersed into various teams.

Then, Li Twelve took Lu Zhicheng, the commander of Dong'an County, away, revealing that Lu Zhicheng was their person.

It is useful to take Lu Zhicheng away, although Li Twelve did not occupy Yongzhou, but one after another, the towns and villages of Yongzhou were occupied by Li Twelve.

Dong'an County makes Lu Zhicheng a timid person, and there is no big evil, and his reputation is not bad. Li Twelve was ready to borrow Lu Zhicheng to realize his idea.

According to Li Guo's instructions, Li 12 and Quan Zhihuan distributed land to the peasants in the townships and villages below the county seat.

The area of arable land in Yongzhou is very low in Hunan Province, and the land annexation situation is even stricter, so if the peasants are given land and the peasants can have a better life, these people will naturally support them. Therefore, in the townships and rural areas, Li Twelve killed some landlords.

Quan Zhihuan was in charge, and at this time, with a part of the soldiers, began to preach to the peasants in Yongzhou that Li Guo had come over, including some superstitious sayings, and Li Guo's idea that he was going to save the people from fire and water. So, the peasants divided the fields, and they were very motivated, plowing the land while thanking Li Guo, who had never met before.

As a result, Li Twelve settled in the township of Yongzhou, but never entered the Yongzhou Mansion. He will never participate in the affairs of the Yongzhou capital.

At this moment, there is not a single soldier in Yongzhou Mansion, and there are only some officials in the government.

After Zhang Qinghe, the prefect of Yongzhou, recovered from the fright, he was greatly puzzled. He said to the regimental training envoy: "This Guangxi soldier is so strange! If you want to say that they are rebelling, but there is no such rebellion law, they don't kill people, they only rob food and silver, and they leave when they are done! ”

"Yes, my subordinates are also puzzled, I heard that these people are no longer fighting, and they all went to the countryside to let the common people farm for them. I heard that they only need grain, and give them two stones of grain for one acre of land to the peasants who farm the land. We have good rain here, one acre of land can produce three stone of grain, two forks a year is six stone of grain, and farmers can have four stone of grain left in one acre of land a year! When they're gone, we'll be able to collect more taxes. "The regimental trainer thinks about the way to make money.

"But when will they leave? No, we have to report to the court quickly and exterminate these people, these people are really hateful! Zhang Qinghe said that although under Li Twelve's special arrangement, he did not suffer any losses, but at this moment, Zhang Qinghe had no power, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

"Okay, my lord, I'll grind it for you!" The regimental trainer rolled up his arms. (To be continued......)
