Chapter 88 Proceeds of Seizure
The howl and cry of the bandits: "The ten soldiers of the left post will lead the people to death with sorrow, and when they execute the bandits, they all use spears, so as not to make a gap in the waist knife on their bodies, and they can also practice spearmanship by the way.
Han Zhong muttered again: "*** This has a lot of money and food, but it is a little difficult to transport it back." ”
So many seizures are the income of the military households of Shunxiang Fort, I am afraid that it will be a few years of hard work, and it is not as rich as the capture of this bandit village. However, Meiyu Shouyu Thousand Households is quite far away from Shunxiang Fort. Moreover, the roads are difficult to travel, and it is easy to sweep away the bandits, and it is somewhat difficult to pull the seizures back.
Zhong Xiancai gently reminded: "My lord, didn't more than 80 mules and horses be seized? There are also some vehicles in the village, and if you put the seized goods in the car, you can use mules to pull them back. ”
Han Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, I just thought of this, so you brought it up, it's good." ”
At that moment, he commanded the whole army to move together, put the captured on the mule horses, pull them all back, and drive away all the cattle and sheep. At last, he ordered a fire to be set on fire, and the whole village was burned to the ground.
There was nothing to do all the way, seeing the elite appearance of the left post of the Shunxiang Army, more than 200 people were as brave as a family, and no one dared to think anything on the road. On April 11, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Han Zhong led the left sentry sergeant, pulled a large number of seizures, and returned to Shunxiang Fort triumphantly.
For a while, the entire Shunxiang Fort was a sensation, these times, although the Shunxiang Army suppressed bandits everywhere, but broke more than a dozen bandit villages, and the income was not as rich as Han Zhong's this time, with these grains, rice and silver money, at least this year, the whole fort can have no worries about food and clothing.
Wang Dou was also very happy, under the large-scale disaster relief, he had not much money and food left, but he broke those stockades before, and seized thousands of taels of silver, more than 400 stones of grain and rice, plus more than 3,500 taels of silver this time. More than 750 stone grain and rice, at least this year, the soldiers and civilians in the fort, as well as the victims outside the fort, do not have to worry about eating and drinking.
Wang Dou was still a little worried before, in the second half of the year, the Qing army entered the Kou, and after the autumn, the entire Shunxiang Fort could not be cultivated, and the walls had to be cleared, how would the army and civilians feed at that time? With these silver coins and rice, even if the wilderness is swept away at that time, what are you afraid of?
He personally came out of the fort to greet Han Zhong and his party, and instructed the overjoyed Lin Daofu to put all kinds of silver, grain, and rice into the warehouse, and those cattle and sheep were also settled.
You can send 100 Dingkou households to Jingbian Fort, send some people to Koujiagou Iron Works, and the rest stay in Shunxiang Fort.
It's just that the construction of the two fort walls is afraid that it will cost a lot, and if it is built roughly, I am afraid that the protection is not enough.
Entering this year, Wang Dou is talking with everyone on weekdays. Intentionally or unintentionally, he always expressed his concern that Jin Bing would enter the prison again after this year. Everyone is baffled. Could it be that the defense lord has not introduced one, knowing that this year's godson is going to enter the customs and plunder again?
At this time, Wang Dou revealed this concern again. Everyone looked at each other, Wen Fangliang smiled and said: "My lord, according to the knowledge of the lower officials, to the west of our Shun Fort, there is the ancient site of Hanpan County, if a new castle is built there, it will not cost much, and
He said with a smile: "The ancestors of Xiaguan are from Zhongzhou, and in our place, in the land of four wars, bandits are rampant. Every Zhuangzi had to build a fortified city. Natun Fort, first build a loess platform, about a zhang high, and then build the fort wall, then take soil from the periphery of the fort wall. Because of the construction of the fort, the surrounding area of Tunpu is full of loess pits, each more than one zhang deep. If the bandits want to attack, they must first bypass these large pits, and the dense loess pits are extremely difficult to navigate. After sparing the big pit, you have to climb the dirt platform again. Climb up the earthen platform, and the fortress wall, from the earthen platform slope to the fortress wall, condescending, as high as several zhang, a wooden stone, roll down along the earthen platform, you can smash a piece of people, it is really miserable! ”
Everyone in the audience listened with great interest, and Wen Fangliang said with a smile: "Of course, this fortified fort also has shortcomings, it is difficult for the enemy to enter the fort, and it is equally difficult for the military households in our fort to get out of the fort. ”
Wang Dou patted his thigh and said: "Travel is not important, the most important thing is safety, and the protection is enough!" ”
He smiled and said, "Jingbianji can also do the same!" ”
Everyone discussed and calculated for a while, the construction of the fort walls of these two forts required more than a thousand taels of silver, if you count the grain and rice, you need half of the silver grain, but Wang Dou now has more silver and less grain, and if he can use silver, he will use silver as much as possible, even if the price of rice is expensive, he will also spend silver to buy.
The matter was decided in this way, from now until the Qing army entered the army, I am afraid that there will not be a few months, and all affairs must be grasped quickly.
On April 20, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou took Han Chao. Han Zhong, along with some of the guards, returned to Jingbian Fort.
Zhong Tiaoyang got the news and greeted Wang Dou and his party at the city gate.
This is Wang Dou went to Shunxiang Fort, the first time in these months to return to Jingbian Fort, in front of Yongning Gate to see Wang Dou, the soldiers in the fort are surprised, they seem to can't believe their eyes, and then they run to tell each other: "The Lord is here, the Lord has not forgotten the father of Jingbian Fort!" ”
They swarmed around Wang Dou. While gossiping, while following Zhong Tiaoyang, he just welcomed Wang Dou and others into the castle, and Qi Tianliang and Tao, who heard the news, both had tears in their eyes: "My lord, you are back!" ”
Wang Dou chatted with them for a while. Looking at the few old people who used to be with him, Wang Dou was very emotional, after he left, Jingbian Fort was really deserted.
There were 170 households in Jingbian Fort, and more than 60 of them had been living outside the fort, but all of them had been recruited as sergeants. Seven teams of soldiers, two teams of soldiers, and one team did not collect at night. Of these sergeants, six teams went to Shunxiang Fort with Wang Dou, one team went to Dongjiazhuang with Gao Shiyin and Yang Tong, and only three teams stayed in Jingbian Fort.
Although Wang Dou and others brought out the soldiers from Jingbian Fort have all become officers, they will sometimes come back on holidays, so that the military households in the fort are also proud. However, being cold is being cold, this is a fact, thinking of the days of Jingbian Fort in the past, and then thinking about the present, the lost psychology of the military households in Jingbian Fort can be understood.
However, on April 15, Wang Dou sent 100 new military households to Jingbian Fort, and sent a large number of men to help Jingbian Fort build the new fort wall.
Today, Wang Dou is returning to his hometown, which makes the military households of Jingbianbao even more happy. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle horn. More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
