407 Hunt Operations

In addition to the use of tactics and the courage of the soldiers, the decisive outcome also depends on a country's attitude and national strength.

Grain, armor, forage, weapons, medicinal materials, horses, etc., are continuously transported to Guangyuan to prepare for the army out of Sichuan, these things have begun to be prepared a few years ago, stored in the warehouse as early as possible, no special preparation, this is the benefit of taking precautions, the only deficiency is that the highway from Chengdu to Guangyuan is only half built, and the remaining half can only be transported slowly.

On the contrary, the military and civilians in Sichuan fully felt the benefits of the expressway.

In the cold winter, the army is not easy to open, but it does not hinder the flow of small groups of people and horses, Nanming takes the mountain to watch the tiger fight, let the Manchu Qing and Sichuan fight for life and death, Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the battlefield of the two is placed in Shaanxi, which borders the Sichuan export, in Shaanxi, the most eye-catching battlefield is the first city captured by the Sichuan army after leaving Sichuan: Ningqiang Prefecture.

Ningqiang Prefecture is like a nail, not only the Sichuan army tightly "nailed" in Shaanxi, but also nailed in the heart of the Manchu Eight Banners, is a thorn in Dorgon's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, a small Ningqiang Prefecture in the military significance is not big, the population is small, the geographical location is poor, and the defense is not good, but the strategic aspect is extremely important.

Outside the city wall, there is a big order to kill the Qing Dynasty, which justifies this carefully concocted decree, so that the rumors that Fan Wencheng painstakingly spread are self-defeating, and the three piles of gold and silver goods worth millions of taels on the wall are not only proof of Sichuan's financial strength, but also make many people with hearts moved.

Under the temptation of money, people's will will become weak, especially when they are in trouble, the desire for money will be multiplied.

Yang Zhu of Wangwu Village near Wuding Mountain has such a profound experience.

In the cold winter, heavy snow covers the mountains. After a year of hard work, the people choose to stay at home, while roasting the fire, while playing cards and chatting, anyway, the weather is so cold that you can't do anything, today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, in this troubled world, can live happily for a day is a day, anyway, the people are trying to eat two meals and one night, which is also called poor and happy.

Others can be poor and happy, but Yang Zhu can't. In his thirties, he couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, all because of a poor word, he had saved enough money to marry his daughter-in-law, but a month ago, the old lady went to the street to buy rice, and the old man's legs and feet were not dexterous. The rice jar was cleaner than his face, so he invited Yang Hu, a brother of his own family who also couldn't open the pot, to go into the mountains to hunt together.

In the big winter, the beasts are many nests in winter. The chances of hitting a beast are not high, and the best result is to pick up frozen pheasants and hares to satisfy their hunger.

The two were unlucky, and they wandered around the mountains for most of the day, not to mention pheasants. Even if he didn't pick up half of the hair, Yang Hu, who was five big and three thick, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, this ghost weather." Where are there any beasts, let's go home, go to Ge Laocai to borrow some food for a while, and then go down here, this stomach is not cold, if we continue like this, we will all die of cold before we hit the prey. ”

"Don't, that black-hearted ghost, relying on a son who is a Han Jian has entered the flag register, in the fish and meat township, borrowed his money, don't want to pay it off for the rest of my life, I'd rather starve to death than borrow from him." Yang Zhu said without hesitation.

"Alas, these years, how can we poor people live, good people don't live long, bad people are evil for a hundred years, God doesn't open his eyes." Yang Hu said with some frustration.

Yang Zhu suddenly covered Yang Hu's mouth with one hand, and just when Yang Hu wanted to scream, Yang Zhu's deliberately suppressed voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Don't move, there is a clear dog." ”

The two hid in the grass on the side and looked down, only to see two men wearing white flag costumes, who were violently assaulting a young woman, probably when they met a beautiful woman on patrol, they were held hostage here, the two were playing unscrupulously, and the woman below struggled at first, but when they got to the back, they seemed to accept their fate, and there was no sound.

Yang Wei gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts always bully men and women, I really want to give them a knife or two holes, and use their hearts and livers to send wine." ”

This was an unintentional angry sentence, the speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, Yang Zhu heard a stirring in his heart, subconsciously looked at it, the surroundings were white, there was no one, gritted his teeth, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Brother, let's exchange these two dog lives for a fortune, do you dare or not?" ”

"What? Brother, what did you say? Yang Hu's eyes widened in surprise.

Yang Zhu licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "Didn't you get the killing order that everyone said?" The head of the clear dog is worth a hundred taels, you look at the pig's tail and the face, you can know at a glance that it is a clear dog, slaughter them and we will share one hundred taels, and you can also enter Sichuan, you forget, the last time we passed by Ningqiang Prefecture, we saw those piles of glittering gold and silver treasures from a distance, anyway, I can't see the end of this day, fight, so that you can also avenge your daughter-in-law, what, do you have the courage to do this? ”

When it came to his daughter-in-law, Yang Hu's eyes turned red, originally he had a good-looking daughter-in-law, and the relationship between the two was not bad, but he didn't expect the Qing army to come and his daughter-in-law would be harmed, and when Yang Hu, who went out to work as a helper, came back, the humiliated daughter-in-law had committed suicide by hanging herself, and when she heard Yang Zhu say this, she gritted her teeth and said: "What don't you dare, now I am alone and the whole family is not hungry, I have long wanted to do it with these beasts, brother, what do you say, I will listen to you." ”

Yang Zhu patted Yang Hu's shoulder hard, then nodded heavily, and after the two reached a consensus, they looked down, just in time to see a shocking scene: after the two Qing soldiers finished venting, they stabbed the woman's heart fiercely, and it turned out to be murderous.

At the signal of Yang Zhu, the two approached quietly, and when the two Qing soldiers packed up their weapons, they "swished" two arrows, and soon, the two Qing soldiers fell down first, and when they saw the Qing soldiers falling, the two threw down the hard bow in their hands, took out the firewood knife and rushed up, and cut down the two heads.......

A few days later, someone in Wangwushan witnessed that the two brothers Yang Zhu and Yang Hu stood at the head of the city in bright clothes, smiling brightly, and later someone sent back the news, the two offered the heads of two Manchu Eight Banner soldiers, the two were allowed to settle in Sichuan, each rewarded a set of houses and one hundred taels of silver, and the two brothers opened a small shop with the silver rewarded, and became the shopkeeper.

When the news came, I don't know how many people were envious and jealous, and many people looked at those wandering Eight Banner soldiers, and at the same time, on the city wall of Ningqiang Prefecture, there were two heads with money tails.

It's really true, it's really fake, it's not true, it's like a dam, it's good when it stores water, once it opens its mouth, it's out of control, there is already a feud, and there is a large bounty, one hundred taels, which is a huge amount of money in peacetime, and it is a life-saving wealth in troubled times, and the most important point is that with the head as a stepping stone, you can enter Sichuan to settle down, and you can also make a name for yourself.

Famous and advantageous, who doesn't want to do it?

For a while, riots broke out, everyone focused on those lone Eight Banner soldiers, Dolgon, who was in Hanzhong, began to receive casualties reports from soldiers, and occasionally received one or two at first, but slowly increased, and even a formed soldier was attacked, which made him nervous, and ordered the soldiers to go out and need to report, not to go out alone, and even dispatched the soldiers of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to escort them.

But this is not the head, first the people attacked, and slowly some martial arts people, big families also participated, and then the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners also had people who couldn't stand the temptation, and also participated in the hunting operation, at most, Dolgon received a report of more than 500 deaths and casualties of the banner soldiers in one day, so that many of the people of the Eight Banners were like frightened birds, that is, they couldn't sleep well, giving people a feeling that the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Many of the Eight Banners soldiers who had made a lot of money had plans to go home.

The people of the Central Plains mobilized, like the wealthy families in Sichuan are not to be outdone, for them, it is enough to be profitable, they can not put the bounty in their eyes, but it does not mean that they do not value the official position and honor, Lu Haoshan in addition to the bounty, but also set up official positions, honors, how many Manchu heads can be redeemed, and even in outsourcing projects also use the head of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a standard, so that the wealthy families in Sichuan sharpen their knives and send a "slave hunting team" to hunt heads, and even some people secretly buy heads, That's even more expensive than the official one.

In just one month, the number of casualties in the Manchu Qing Dynasty rose sharply, which made the Manchu nobles led by Dolgon angry that in just over a month, the number of casualties in the attack was higher than the number of deaths on the battlefield in the pass, and all the people who died were banner people, even men, women and children.

Some people even found an excuse to leave the Central Plains and return to the birthplace of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Jianzhou Laowo.

"Dirty, really dirty, these damn Sichuan dogs, don't dare to fight with us openly, they will sneak behind to make small moves, and they don't even let go of women and children, they are just beasts, they are really angry with the king." Dorgon growled as he threw the blue and white teapot on the ground.

"Horn" Dolgon's most cherished teapot shattered at once.

Fan Wencheng's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to confess his guilt and said: "Lord Wang, it is the fault of the villain, it did not do a good job of preventing the spread and spread of the killing order, please punish the prince." ”

"Mr. Fan, please" Dolgon is a person who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, although he is angry, but he still helped Fan Wencheng up as soon as possible, and said with a sincere face: "If this matter is not planned by Mr. Fan, I am afraid that the effect will be stricter, Mr. Don't blame yourself, this king will definitely blame Mr." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang," Fan Wencheng hurriedly thanked.

Dolgon gritted his teeth and said, "Sichuan is too deceitful, Mr. Fan, it seems that we have to start planning in advance." (To be continued......) R1292
