Chapter 51: The Stable Meander
Zhang Er Mazi of Fugu received the gift box from Li Guo, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, because the gift box contained Zhang Dazi's head. Zhang Er Mazi is determined to take revenge, and he doesn't dare to fart if his own brother is killed? Does it not chill the hearts of the brethren? However, Zhang Er Mazi was not reckless, he sent someone to investigate first.
At this time, Li Guo was launching a large-scale operation to eliminate bandits in Hequ County. There were a lot of people who participated in the operation each time, and the regiments of the land protection regiment participated in two rounds in turn, with 5,000 people in each round, plus the original hundreds of elite soldiers in Hequ and the 1,500 elite soldiers and child soldiers brought by Li Guo from the old camp, the number of people participating in the entire battle was more than 7,000.
More than 7,000 people were more than wrong to deal with bandits, who numbered only a few hundred people per share. As a result, some bandits wanted to escape, but they couldn't. Because wherever there were bandits, rangers were sent to monitor them, and when they found signs of escape, these rangers harassed them and notified the guards of nearby villages and towns to come to their aid.
And Li Guo also divided the 2,000 elite soldiers into four fast columns, which were stationed in four directions of the river meander. The soldiers of the column, each with two fast horses, were able to quickly rush to the battlefield in a very short time and annihilate the enemy. But most of the bandits panicked, and when they encountered the land guards of the big town, they had already been killed by a large number of land guards before the rapid column arrived.
Bandits can't blatantly run, it's okay to run with makeup, that's not okay.
Now there are more people in the meander, all of them are farmers who go to the west entrance, they voluntarily stay, because they can get the land, although most of it is wasteland, they need to open up the wasteland, their treatment is also worse, there is no land for themselves, and the crops grown are taxed, but this is a way of life after all, compared with other places to exploit heavy taxes, staying here is a good way to live. And, as long as they can stay here for five years, they can enjoy the same treatment as the indigenous people.
The river meanders are not left if they want to stay, Li Guo found that the armor protection system and the continuous sitting system implemented in the Ming Dynasty are indeed good methods. In the Ming Dynasty, ten households were one first, and one hundred households were one guarantee. One of the first households fled or made trouble, and the other nine households were all affected, and the chief of the first household was implicated. Therefore, every household not only works hard, but also does not allow the emergence of troublemakers. Sun Dengke's propaganda team still often sings some political dramas, and it is impossible for anyone to escape, let alone make trouble.
But this is not good, everyone needs to have a road to travel, and the road is not a new thing in the Ming Dynasty, it is called a road guide, but the social turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty is dead.
So, when the bandits lost their knives and guns, and sneakily ran away with small bags, they were discovered.
The first to discover them were the children's group. If the Protectors are the reserve soldiers of the real army, then the Children's Regiment is the reserve soldiers of the children's soldiers.
When the children of these children's groups noticed that three or five very suspicious people were about to bypass the village, they quickly notified the village guards. The small villages have been merged, so now each village has at least a few hundred land guards, so the gate of the village opened, and hundreds of men with shovels, pickaxes, and sticks poured out, either walking or riding donkeys and shouting to kill, and the bandits were so frightened that they couldn't run.
"Where's the road?" The regimental member of the Protector will ask.
"What road? Oh, I forgot to bring it. He said smartly.
Syllable! A slap in the face, the people of the land protection group will scold, "Grandma, if you are not honest, I will kill you!" Say, bandits on which mountain? ”
"Erlang Mountain's." The bandits had never seen such a common man bullying the bandits, and then they saw the gold and silver in the small cloth bag turned out and wilted. Of course, the seized items must be handed over to the public.
As a result, the bandits throughout the meandering territory panicked.
But Li Guo has a policy towards them, unless the people are very angry and unforgiving, the rest of the bandits can lay down their arms and hand over gold and silver to live.
However, the bandits were still a little hesitant, because the bandits Zhang Da * Zi and the rest of the minions in Erlong Mountain had all been clicked, and the reason was very simple, they attacked Wang Tun. There were a few bandits who wanted to resist, and all of them were clicked.
Therefore, when he was very prestigious among the bandits, and the people were not very angry, after the big stick of the king of the mountain carving took the initiative to go down the mountain and surrender, Li Guo did not kill him, but gave him an official, an assistant to suppress the bandits, a rank, and a small colonel.
Wang Da Bangzi did not die, and was also made an official, which caused a great sensation among the bandits. Some bandits, who were not very angry with the people, went down the mountain and surrendered. Their personnel were dispersed to various villages and became land guards, and of course, in addition to training, they also had to do farm work. Thus, the bandits turned into peasants. In fact, these bandits themselves are also peasants, and those peasants who conquer cities and land have become climates, called peasant armies, and they occupy the mountains as kings, so they are called bandits.
Several bandit leaders who were not pardoned by Li Guo saw that they had no way to live, so they wanted to resist stubbornly. So, they were surrounded. At this time, the grain had not yet come down, and even the landed peasants were only mixed with food and clothing, not to mention the bandits who were surrounded.
The largest bandit leader in Hequ County, known as the big bandit who pierced the sky, Liu was depressed, because Li Guo only besieged and did not attack, and Li Guo sent people to shout every day. The shouting was the surrendered bandit king big stick, and the content of the shouting was 'Tiger Master ordered, the first evil is strict, others will not be prosecuted, and those who will automatically go down the mountain and surrender will be exempted, and arrange a way out of life.' ’
The gangsters were worried that the little minions would go down the mountain and surrender, so they arranged for people to guard the pass. But the next morning, I found that even the guards had gone down the mountain and surrendered. Now, there are only more than 100 bandits left from the original 600 people. Moreover, Liu found that these bandits who had not come down the mountain looked at him strangely. Liu was shocked, did these people want to take him down the mountain and ask for a reward?
Liu Gangster slowly walked to his waist knife, he was going to pull out the knife and threaten everyone to follow him and Li Guo! Liu Chao swooped out the knife, and the blade was gone, only the handle of the knife.
"His grandmother's! Who did this to you! Liu gangster was still about to scold, but he had already been pressed to the ground, "What are you going to do?" ”
Liu gangsters were tied up. At this time, Liu heard the rest of the bandits say to each other, "We also have some sins, I hope that the tiger master under the mountain will spare us for the sake of our meritorious service." ”
"Yes, as long as you give us a way to live, you have to be a good man, I heard that it is good to go down the mountain now, everyone has land."
As a result, the head of the Liu gangster was cut off.
The rest of the anti-bandit operations ended almost without a fight.
"It's over so soon?" Li Guo himself didn't believe it, and he was very dissatisfied, so he didn't fight any battles. Because it is not good to be idle during this time, a good team that can fight tough battles must be a team that has experienced a hundred battles.
However, for the people of the land protection group, the suppression of bandits is vigorous, although it is a few thousand people fighting hundreds of people, although this must be regarded as a bully, after all, the morale of these paramilitary teams has been greatly boosted.
Li Guo's prestige in the meanders of the river is even higher, and some people even offer Li Guo's tablet at home, on which hangs a painting of a white tiger.
Therefore, the suppression of bandits in Hequ has come to an end, and the suppression of bandits has lifted the hearts of Hequ people. The suppression of bandits also brought Li Guo a lot of benefits, which was very important, and Li Guo got about 100,000 taels of silver.
As a result, the river meanders have no unstable factors and have become an important base for Li Guo.
Li Guo set his sights on Fugu, why hasn't Zhang Ermazi of Fugu come to avenge his brother Zhang Da*zi? If you don't come, I'll go! Li Guo is about to go to Fugu to suppress bandits.
