Chapter 140: Fate
This time the battle did not spread, Zheng Xunrui asked for secrecy, he knew very well that Mu Xiu was in the forest, and the wind would destroy it, if all the battle situations were reported, then he would soon be noticed by the imperial court, and he would also become the object of the court's various factions, such a situation would be difficult to deal with, after all, the Ming Dynasty had entered the turmoil.
Yang He originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the foot soldiers behind, but was stopped by Zheng Xunrui, after all, there were fifty-five people under Wang Ziyong's command who fled, and these people would definitely go to meet with the foot soldiers behind, and they were already ready, chasing after them and continuing to fight, their own losses would be greater, and the Zheng family army lost more than 100 people in the battle, such losses were beyond the range that Zheng Xunrui could bear, and he would not compare the Zheng family army soldiers with the rogues.
Besides, the army led by Wang Ziyong was looted in Yan'an Mansion, and he would not carry too much grain and grass, even if he chased over and exterminated the foot soldiers behind, the harvest would not be too big, and he needed to get a lot of war horses, a full 1,370 war horses, plus the original 1,000 war horses, to form a decent cavalry, and the conditions were basically ripe.
According to Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, after the battle, the scouts went to investigate, and the four thousand foot soldiers of the rogues had quickly retreated in the direction of Shanxi, this time not by taking the official road, but by taking the mountain road into Shanxi, to meet with Wang Jiayin, this qiē was expected by Zheng Xunrui, these rogues took the mountain road, that is, to avoid being chased and killed.
After cleaning up the battlefield easily, Zheng Jiajun left Qingjian Bay and headed directly towards Fucheng.
The seven hundred and five people who surrendered, the method of handling was the same as before, first screened, the backbone of the rogue was killed, and the rest entered the Zheng family army after passing the examination. Among these seven hundred and five people, 650 were incorporated into the Zheng family's army, and 55 were beheaded.
The total number of Zheng's army increased to 3,150 people, and the number of war horses increased to 2,380, and the war horses were divided into three categories, Arab war horses, Uzhumuqin horses, and Mongolian horses.
This is already a combat team with extraordinary specifications.
In less than two months, the Zheng Family Army was established, with a total number of more than 3,000 people and more than 2,000 war horses.
Zheng Xunrui will not be satisfied, the army in his mind is far from such a scale, but judging from the current situation, the progress is still very good, especially the harvest of war horses, which is crucial.
Another huge harvest this time, is grain and grass, after the seizure of Zhao Mu, the magistrate of Qingjian County, got 20,000 stone of grain, this is a huge amount, these grain and grass can be used as the next year's spare grain, Fuzhou County's grain depot can increase the relief of the people, the government has these grain and grass, can adjust the shortage of grain and grass in the state and county.
On the third day of November, the army returned to Fucheng.
Ma Zhukui and Sun Qimeng and others, I don't know what happened, I saw Zhao Mu, the magistrate of Qingjian County, who was escorted back, and were greatly surprised, and learned that Zhao Mu colluded with the people of Liukou and greedy for ink, they were extremely shocked and asked to severely punish Zhao Mu.
With this premise, Zhao Mu's family can be saved, and as for Zhao Mu himself, there is no possibility of survival.
Zheng Xunrui will not kill Zhao Mu without authorization, after all, Zhao Mu is an official of the imperial court, if he kills him in a fit of anger, it will trigger the impeachment of some people with ulterior motives in the court, and those people don't care whether what you are doing is right or not.
As for the matter of recommending Li Panlong to be the magistrate of Qingjian County, it is also logical, when Li Panlong Chongzhen was three years old, he made great contributions, and he should be rewarded at that time, in fact, Zheng Xunrui also knew that the imperial court was preparing to let Li Panlong serve as the magistrate of Qingjian County, but unfortunately he was suppressed by Zhao Mu.
The establishment of the Yan'an Guard, there must be a first-class military camp, which is in line with the regulations of the imperial court, in a place three miles away from the city, there are ready-made houses, which was originally the ancestral home of a wealthy gentry, covering a wide area, because there are too many Liukou in Yan'an, this gentry has long moved away, and has been thinking about selling the ancestral home, this opportunity is suitable, after buying, a little tidying, it can become a suitable military camp.
How to deal with the Zijin Liang King's own use, Zheng Xunrui had already made up his mind, he couldn't kill Zhao Mu casually, but there was no problem in killing the king for his own use.
On the day he returned to Fucheng, Wang Ziyong was escorted to the garrison yamen.
Zheng Xunrui also came to the garrison yamen.
When Wang Ziyong was escorted to the garrison public room, he had a look of disdain on his face, probably knowing that he was going to die, so he simply wanted to be heroic, so as not to be looked down upon by others.
"Wang Ziyong, nicknamed Zijin Liang, Suide people, turned out to be the border soldiers of Ningxia Wei, the first year of Chongzhen and Wang Jiayin, Wang Jiayun, Zhang Cunmeng, Fan Yinhu and others gathered to rebel, and later did not stick to the mud Zhang Cunmeng, Fan Yinhu and other three people worshiped as brothers, led an army, when attacking Jiazhou in April this year, was defeated by the then governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, who did not touch the mud, Zhang Cunmeng killed Fan Yinhu, tied you to surrender, rebelled in June this year, you did not follow the action of Zhang Cunmeng, led part of the men and horses to Yongning Prefecture, Shanxi, and defected to Wang Jiayin, this time, under the banner of avenging Zhang Cunmeng, who did not get muddy, tried in vain to attack Yan'an Mansion. ”
"That's right."
Wang Ziyong originally wanted to scold angrily, but looking at Zheng Xunrui, who had an unusually young temperament, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
"This official is Zheng Xunrui, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, and this time it is also this official who exterminated the army under your command."
Wang Ziyong finally spoke, but he didn't curse.
"I was calculated by you, Lao Tzu admitted it, I am willing to kill and chop, you can dispose of it."
"You are much stronger than not sticking to the mud, and your temperament is not the same, no wonder you can become a big brother, you know very well that there is no chance of survival, this is the case, if you are captured by this official for the first time, there may be a glimmer of life, but now it is absolutely impossible."
Wang Ziyong smiled, looking very calm.
"You are an official, I am a bandit, there is nothing to say if you are caught, you don't want to be complacent, the government doesn't care about the life or death of the people, there will be more and more rebels, you can't be stupid."
"What you said is right, it seems that there is still some knowledge, it is really a pity, if the imperial court follows the current way of suppressing bandits, I am afraid that the more they suppress the rogues, the more they will be exhausted, and in the end they will be helpless, and they will not be able to fundamentally solve the problem of eating, all of them will be in vain, but the official will not do this, on the one hand, the official must exterminate the rogues, and on the other hand, let the people have something to eat, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort, so that the rogues have no place in Yan'an."
"It's a good thing to say, Zhao Mu is a dog in the county, no matter whether the people live or die, I don't know how many, he thinks I will let him go this time, it's really a dream, I came this time, I was going to serve his nest first."
"Interesting, that's right, it seems that you really have some knowledge, the official underestimates you, you are worthy of being a border soldier in Ningxiawei, the official does not deny it, you are forced to rebel helplessly, why are the leaders of the Liukou almost all from Yan'an Mansion, the first year of Chongzhen to the fourth year, continuous natural disasters, almost no harvest, to the situation of people eating people, in this case, rebellion is death, not rebellion is death, it is better to fight, change to the official, I am afraid that it will also be done."
Wang Ziyong had a shocked look on his face and looked at Zheng Xunrui, this was the first time he had heard an official say this.
"You don't have to look at the official like this, and then what the official says is not so good, you choose to rebel, that is, you choose a path of no return, and the rebellion again and again is hopeless, yes, the official is somewhat sympathetic to the rogue, but the official will never show mercy to exterminate the rogue, because after they become the rogue, their hearts have changed dramatically, think about what you have done, attacking the city to loot property, killing innocents indiscriminately, how have you ever restrained military discipline, how have you ever thought that there is a debtor who is wronged, Your eyes will be red when you see food and goods, and what is the difference between you and bandits. ”
"This official will not do what the former trilateral governor Yang He did, blindly adopt the method of surrender, and this official will not do what the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou did, blindly kill the rogues, on the one hand, the official wants to exterminate the rogues, on the other hand, let the people have food, let the people settle down, and live a down-to-earth life, the official also has principles for exterminating the rogues, the leaders and leaders of the rogues, the official will not let go of any of them, all of them will be killed, whether you surrender or resist, regardless of the reason, as for the ordinary sergeants who follow, or the outcasts, If they can't calm down and continue to choose rebellion, they will be looking for death, and the official will not forgive, if they are willing to live honestly, then they will be able to avoid a calamity. ”
"Wang Ziqiang, this official describes your fate, it is the word fate, you probably don't understand what fate means, to put it bluntly, your fate should be like this, no matter how powerful you are, how ambitious you are, in the end you will die."
"If you can meet this official earlier, you may not have such an ending, but unfortunately this is your fate, then you have only to appoint, okay, this official should have said everything, the banquet has been prepared, you eat and drink well, and go on the road with peace of mind."
After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Wang Ziyong was stunned for a while, and suddenly knelt down.
"I know that the death penalty is inevitable, but I am happy for the fathers and villagers of Yan'an Mansion, my lord has come here, it is the gospel of the people of Yan'an Mansion, and they can finally live."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Wang Ziyong, who was kneeling on the ground, and shook his head lightly and sighed.
