Chapter 105: Ready-made
Soon what a few Ningxia soldiers said just now was confirmed, because now everyone saw the huge "ghost face" hanging in the sky. Although it is not really visible, it is certain that this thing is huge and can fly in the air. Du Wenhuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and secretly said that there are really gods and monsters in this world. Yansui Town is a border land, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the people who eat knives and mouths are the most superstitious ghosts and gods. It has taken the life of the leader of the thieves, and now it is flying towards itself, but its own intentions are unknown.
Thinking of this, he shuddered and hurriedly ordered the archers to be ready to take aim in the air. He looked around and saw that many soldiers were also pointing to the sky, and there were many discussions, and even the formation was a little scattered, and he was immediately furious, and severely reprimanded everyone, ordering them to strictly prohibit distraction and guard their positions. Although the soldiers promised in their mouths, how could they bear not to quietly look up and peek?
At this time, Yang He brought a group of officers' cronies to the front line to watch the battle, and Zhang Yingchang also followed behind with a black eyebrow. They all saw the "ghost face" in the distance, and while they were discussing, Du Wenhuan stepped forward and told Yang He what he had just heard from the Ningxia soldiers, Yang He heard that the leader of the thieves had been beheaded, he was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "If this thing is true, then this thing can be described as a great achievement!" It is much calmer than Du Wenhuan, and he does not threaten the "ghost face". He is a faithful believer in Wang Yangming's "Xinxue", paying attention to "the unity of knowledge and action, and learning from things", believing that everything has its own reason, and can be "Gezhi" from the inherent "conscience" in his heart, and when he was in Beijing, he was friendly with Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, etc., and he also understood the scientific theories transmitted by Taixi, and did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. Although he had never seen a hot air balloon, looking at its shape and dynamics, he decided in his heart that it was a man-made thing, and it was definitely not some kind of ghostly ghost.
The three people in the rattan basket saw the flag of the Chinese army from a distance, the flagpole was as high as more than one zhang, a few points higher than the flagpole of the general soldier, the flag hunting, waving in the wind, on it was "Governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs Yang" several big characters, the end was majestic. The three of them couldn't help but be taken aback. Wu Shiyi stammered: "That's, that's, the trilateral governor?" Although he is young, but the foundation of literacy is really good, Wu Wei has been carrying out cultural literacy for their group of orphans these days, he is very competitive, has always been the best among the students, at this time he was the first to recognize the big characters on the banner!
Brother Huang and Wu Shifu are not as literate as Wu Shiyi, but they also recognize a few words each, plus listening to Wu Shifu also say the same, where is there still a little doubt. Brother Huang said: "Your Excellency the Governor is here, we need to report to your Excellency quickly!" The other two agreed. These days, especially after the conflict with Wang Zhen's department, the Ansai battalion has become wary of the officers and soldiers, and just now I saw Ningxia Town being beaten by thieves and fled, and I couldn't help but add a little contempt.
The walkie-talkie that the three of them paired was a military model, with a lot of power, and coupled with the extremely fast advance of the Ansai battalion, the communication between the two sides has not been interrupted, and Wu Shiyi reported this important military situation to the headquarters in a smooth manner.
Wu Wei was personally leading the army to pursue the thieves at this time, and he was very busy. This time it was the thieves headquarters who were defeated, and the wealth obtained was more than ten times more than the time when Gao Yingxiang was defeated, and all the soldiers of the Ansai camp were elated. The scouts have also found the body of the "two kings", but they have been blown up and are difficult to identify, and they can only barely identify their identities by virtue of their clothes and accessories. The head could not be taken for the time being, so he had to order someone to use a carriage to carry the corpse of the thief leader who could be identified, including the body of the "two kings", and then hand it over to the governor for inspection.
Along the way, there were countless thieves captured in the Ansai camp, and the captive team was so busy with the bandages that their hands and feet were weak, and finally they simply sent the ties down to tie them up with each other, so that the efficiency was really much increased. Through the screening of the captives, Wu Wei found that the richest of the thieves was still the elite old camp of the "Erwang" headquarters, they followed the "Erwang" to fight for the longest time, captured the most, and almost everyone carried a small burden full of soft and soft baggage, while the ordinary thieves were mostly victims who were coerced, but there was no oil and water at all. Unfortunately, after interrogating the prisoners, Wu Wei learned that most of the elites of the old battalion were cavalry, and they had fled northward, and most of their own families were infantry, so it was too late to chase them in a carriage now.
But even so, the gains in this battle are huge. Chairman Mao said that the most precious thing in the world is people, but in these years, the most worthless people are people, especially the old and weak, and they are regarded as useless discarded things. After a long journey of hundreds of miles, most of the old and weak have filled the ravines, and most of the remaining people are young and middle-aged.
If it were someone else, he really couldn't support these many people, even if he was a "second king". Because of the notoriety of the thieves, many people fled along the way, and the big families took their families to hide in the county town, and the thieves marched all the way to the wall! In this way, it is almost impossible to solve the food problem by copying large households, and even if you can get a little food, you have to give priority to supplying the old camp brothers, these ordinary thieves at the bottom are in danger, and their fate is really miserable. And Wu Wei is the most lacking in food, it is easy for him to feed these people, and he still has his own ideas about how to arrange these people.
In addition to being young and strong, another unexpected gain is women, a very large number of women, there are thousands of people! The army of thieves has been fighting for many years, robbing countless large households, and even captured several county seats, and now many of the big and small leaders are three wives and four concubines or even more, among which there are many young ladies and aunts from large families, and the only thing that restricts them from expanding the scale of ** is their ability to support. Not only are the leaders happy, but even many ordinary old camp thieves have robbed one or two women. At this moment, the thieves were defeated, and where could they take them, so they were all abandoned to the Ansai battalion.
Listening to Wu Shiyi's report, Wu Wei suddenly realized that he still had a chance to catch up with these thieves! This is a lot of money, he quickly judged Du Wenhuan's intentions, didn't Nima just want to make himself have fewer dead people and make ready-made? Hehe, it's your own delay, no wonder I'm sorry.
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for reward, Wuchang fish thank you!
