Chapter Eighty-Five: An Old Acquaintance Is Coming

Although the road between Anding and Ansai was difficult and sparsely populated, the army of displaced people was eager to eat, and the speed of the march was much faster than usual. The scout water price transmitted the military information back to Ansai, and the whole county was shocked three times a day, and some wealthy people and gentry began to flee from Ansai, and in the past few days, the large and small boats on the Yanhe River to Yan'an Fucheng have been flowing endlessly, causing the workers in the dock factory area to be panicked.

On the other hand, under the persecution of the army of thieves, a large number of people in the northern counties did not want to be coerced by it, and went south one after another, avoiding the further expansion of the bandits' momentum. Although there were many people who died of cold and starvation on the way and were robbed by robbers, most of them still arrived at Ansai by sending a large number of people to carry food and supplies along the way. There are relatives and fellow villagers who have settled here in the early stage to go to defect, and the rest of the people who have nowhere to live are also very numerous, because the population inside and outside the county is nearly saturated, Wu Wei Ming Li County order, they are all moved to the south bank of the Yan River to resettle.

Although the people were helped by Wu, it was a cold winter, but they were still overstretched and miserable. Food is secondary, and the top priority is to find a place for them, otherwise with their thin clothes, the wind in northern Shaanxi will not be able to withstand it. Because the soil was frozen extremely hard, a hoe went down to leave only a white mark, digging a cave became unrealistic, helpless, Wu Wei had to work hard, from the modern emergency to transport a batch of disaster relief tents. This is used after the earthquake in a cold region, although it is an old goods that have been replaced, but the materials are solid, and the cold protection effect is really good. The displaced people at the end of the Ming Dynasty were also not particular, as long as there was a shelter that could shelter from the wind and cold, they were thankfully grateful, and more than a dozen people crowded into a tent without complaining, but felt warmer. Wu Wei also called on the merchants to donate a lot of cotton clothes, quilts and other materials, and his own family took the lead in contributing money and grain to cover all the fuel and ration supplies of the displaced people. Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the people were quickly settled down.

The sowing season has been missed, and the weather is cold, it is impossible to organize them to open up the wasteland, this lot of labor idle is a huge waste, not to mention Wu Wei, the merchants of Ansai have made so many investments, and they should also get a return, otherwise it will not be easy for them to be the big boss next time. Wu Wei simply invested a huge amount of money to build a new wharf on the south bank, planned an industrial zone around the wharf, and publicly solicited investment. Wu Wei's name is now synonymous with wealth, many foreign merchants came late, did not occupy a good location, at this time see the opportunity where will let go, not to mention that this move can also show favor Wu Wei, immediately responded to it, even local merchants see that this new area has broad prospects, and there are many people who invest in it. All of a sudden, the south bank of the Yanhe River became a large construction site, and a large number of displaced laborers were absorbed, and these measures not only met the interests of many private capitalists, but also prevented the displaced people from being idle and causing more trouble, and all parties were extremely satisfied, which was considered a win-win situation.

Tens of thousands of displaced people who were coerced by the "two kings" were not so lucky, they set out from Yulin, to Ansai all the way no less than 400 miles, the road was difficult to travel, and there was a lack of food, and suffered a lot along the way, I don't know how many old and weak women and children have been tossed and turned to fill the ravine, and because there are new people who have been coerced by it, this army of displaced people has increased a lot until it is close to Ansai, but compared with the beginning of the incident, it has been declining, and there is no longer the grand occasion of the original Yifu advocating rebellion and Wanfu Jingcong. Speaking of which, this also has a certain relationship with Ansai County, originally the more and more densely populated to the south, these are the objects of the rogue coercion, and Ansai has been placed more than 60,000 homeless people in the past few months, and now a large number of people are forced by the rogue soldiers, and they also help the old and the young to go to Ansai, and the residents who stay in the local area are much smaller than in history, and the big households are even more left, and the rogue army sometimes falls into the embarrassment of having nothing to plunder.

The supply of the old camp of the henchmen of the "two kings" is a priority, and there is no worry about running out of food for the time being, but if the grain is tight for a long time, the brigade will not be able to maintain, and it will eventually disperse gradually. "Two kings" smelled that the grain in the Ansai treasury was piled up, when this shape shì, only by breaking the 3000 Yan'an guards in front of Ansai and seizing the grain, can they advance and retreat well, and then the hungry people near and far are still afraid that they will not come to the righteous army, when there is food and people, where can not go to the world? Therefore, the two of them used both soft and the one hand, they used the rich ** people in Ansai, and on the other hand, they forced the backbone of the old camp to force everyone to move forward, and they were whipped and slashed at every turn.

Wu Weizao and Luo Rucai and others planned to set up an ambush in Huanglong Mountain, 20 miles northeast of Ansai City, because there are many roads leading to Ansai, but only the road here can pass the brigade, it is expected that the "two kings" are arrogant and accustomed, and they are also rogue, the composition of the team is complex, and it is difficult to control, and they will not divide the troops to sneak from the path, and it must be to rectify the brigade from this to pass Guò, so Wu Wei ordered Luo Rucai to lead his troops to ambush here. It is said that the Ansai battalion has already been expanded to a battalion of people, according to the military system of the Qi family, with a total strength of nearly 3,000 people, divided into three parts of the left, middle and right and the Chinese army, Luo Rucai led the Chinese army to lead a part of his own army, with more than 800 subordinate troops, and the remaining two were Wang Long and Yang Chengzu were in charge respectively, and Wu Wei led nearly 200 people. According to the commander of the army, Luo Rucai and the three should all be appointed as the general manager of Qian, but there is no general manager in the body issued by the governor Yang He, so the three of them are still the general in the military ranks, and according to the military system, they can only bring more than 200 sergeants. This is already the highest military rank in the Ansai battalion, and the ranks of the rest of the officers are all extremely low, and the highest is only the regimental training of 100 generals and flags, which can be regarded as a great wonder of the Ansai battalion.

The ambush has just been deployed, and Wu Wei's subordinate scouts are already less than twenty miles away from the ambush, and the general of the rogue who leads the troops is none other than the old acquaintance Gao Yingxiang! After he defected to the "two kings" with Zijin Liang, although he was quite important, he changed from a prince with 20,000 people to a subordinate of others, and his depression can be imagined. This time, he took advantage of the "two kings" to fight back to Ansai, and even volunteered to lead 1,000 old battalions as the vanguard of the army, and there was no sense of reviving the momentum in his heart.

A little later, Wang Zhen also got the news that Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of Yansui, strictly ordered him to block the southbound liukou in Huanglong Mountain, and the wording was extremely harsh, which meant that if the entrustment was ineffective, he would have to engage in military law. Wang Zhen secretly thought, the army of Ningxia Town and Gansu Town is a foreign army, it is difficult to count on it, his own family is afraid that this time it will be more auspicious and less, for today's plan, only to defeat the thief forward, and then defend it with danger, only need to drag it out for a day or two, and when the army of the general army arrives, it can be flanked before and after, and the enemy can be defeated. If he is still defeated by the rogue at that time, the main responsibility will not be his own, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will have to rely on his own family to clean up the situation and "recover" Ansai County, maybe he can also take advantage of the situation to loot Thinking of this, his heart is hot, and he thinks of Wu Wei again, his heart moves, and a cruel smile appears on his face.
