Chapter 128: Not Negotiable
At the end of the day, the surroundings were basically quiet, and Yang He reported the battle situation to Zheng Xunrui.
"Young master, kill 1,327 Liukou, capture Zhang Cunmeng alive, seize 1,400 stones of grain, 30 taels of gold, 400 taels of silver, 11 war horses, 1,200 Yanling knives, 140 sabers of the Royal Forest, 200 bows and arrows, 900 three-eyed guns, 400 bird guns, and some quilts and other materials, which are being registered, and after the completion of the book, they will be handed over to the head of Zheng Deputy Du, and the 700 guards who participated in the attack, and four people were seriously injured. Minor injuries are not counted for the time being, and no one has been killed......"
When Yang He reported the report, there was pride in his tone, he killed more than 1,300 rogues, seized a large number of weapons, and there were no casualties in the courtyard, this is a huge victory, and no one will believe it.
Zheng Xunrui saw Yang He's thoughts, and he spoke slowly.
"Yang He, you are very happy, but I want to remind you that there is nothing to be happy about, the main purpose of this battle is to let the nursing hospital see blood, in terms of results, it is indeed good, but you have to know how this is how the results were achieved."
"First, the Liukou encountered an attack, as the coach of the mud, the first thing he thought of was to flee, he did not organize an effective counterattack, and he did not even think of organizing an effective retreat.
"Second, the equipment of the Liukou, you can also see, if the equipment of the nursing home is not good, the equipment of the Liukou is even worse, they have no armor and cotton armor, they don't even have mud, and they don't see many bows and arrows, as for the three-eyed guns, bird guns and other firearms, there is no time to launch them, and they don't even have time to pick them up."
"Third, the rogue didn't have the slightest preparation, and he didn't expect to suffer a sudden attack without mud, and besides, these sergeants under his command, although they used to be the sergeants under the jurisdiction of the Shenmu garrison, were basically the former rogues, and the elite forces had already been wiped out, and the rest would not have strong combat effectiveness."
"Under such circumstances, if the battle cannot achieve a decisive victory, it is really difficult to say, so the complete victory of this battle is not something to be proud of, and the nursing home has not yet encountered a real challenge."
Yang He, who said this, lowered his head.
"Yang He, I say this, is to keep a clear mind, not because of a battle victory, it seems fluttering, there are still a thousand Liukou in the direction of Jiazhou, these people can not let go, they don't know that the sergeants under the command of the mud are basically annihilated, you lead five hundred guards, launch an attack on time at noon, remember, the speed of the attack must be fast, can not be delayed, when the battle just now, there are still escaped rogues, if they go to report the news, this thousand rogues must have fled, In that case, they will also endanger the lands of Yan'an. ”
"Mizhi to Jiazhou, one hundred and twenty miles, one hour is enough time to arrive, five hundred guards set off, there is no big problem to arrive at the time, the goal and purpose of the battle are still the same, to the maximum extent to kill and injure the Liukou, do not leave a living mouth, of course do not fall in love with the war, do not pursue too far, Shenshi must rush back to Mizhi, I am here waiting for your good news."
"Yes, the subordinates must complete the task, and they have just woken up without mud, and the subordinates ask for instructions on how to deal with it."
"Just bring it to me."
Song Renhong, the magistrate of Mizhi County, with two officials, had already left the city gate and came to visit and thank him.
Song Renhong didn't know where these strong cavalry came from, but he felt that these cavalry had no intention of violating Mizhi County, and if these people launched an attack on Mizhi County, I am afraid that they would not be able to defend it for a long time.
Hong Xintao took Song Renhong and came to Zheng Xunrui's side.
"Song Renhong, the magistrate of Mizhi County, I don't know what to call this young man, if you solve the dilemma of Mizhi County, this official will definitely report to the imperial court."
"Oh, you are the magistrate of Mizhi County, you can defend the city and resist the attack of the mud, you are still good, Zheng Xunrui, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, rushed from the capital to Yan'an Mansion to take office, and happened to encounter the invasion of the Liukou."
After Song Renhong saw the holy decree, he had a shocked look on his face, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
"The lower official didn't know that it was the prefect, and he failed to open the city to greet him, and asked the lord to atone for his sins."
"You did a good job, under the premise of not understanding the situation, you can't open the city gate casually, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
"The guards around you are really brave."
"Okay, needless to say, the mud will be taken over immediately, and you are also watching from the side."
Not muddy burly, with a beard on his face, with the breath of a soldier on his body, he used to be a border soldier, and he has been in the army for many years, and it is not strange that he has a military temperament, because he was knocked out by Yang He, he just woke up, and his face was very pale.
probably knew his own ending, and he looked very strong without mud, and after seeing Song Renhong, he scolded.
"Dog official, if it falls into your hands, Lao Tzu doesn't want to live, you fish and flesh people, regardless of the life and death of the people, if you are not forced to have no way to live, how can Lao Tzu rebel, Lao Tzu is dead, and there will be brothers to clean you up."
Seeing Zheng Xunrui standing in the middle, he spoke again without touching the mud.
"Young man, look at your fine skin and tender meat, you are also from the official family, hum, they are all raccoon dogs."
When Song Renhong was about to speak, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.
"Don't get mud, when the official was in the capital, I heard about your reputation, surrendered to Lord Hong Chengchou in April, treacherously at the end of August, and began to rebel again, and when he surrendered, he also killed the sworn brother Winged Tiger, and captured the sworn brother Zijin Liang Wang for his own use, and it is precisely for this reason that you were able to live, the official is not wrong."
Looking at the young Zheng Xunrui, who was a little excessive, and seeing Song Renhong standing on the side respectfully, his face that was not stained with mud instantly turned red, after all, his shortcomings were exposed.
"The official despises the most is the person who is not strong-willed, you are right, the formation of the rogue is because there is no way to live, rebellion is death, not rebellion is starvation, it is better to gamble, be a full ghost, the court also knows, so the strategy of appeasement is adopted, but since you surrendered to the court and continue to rebel, the official does not know what the reason is."
"Don't get muddy, you rebelled again after surrendering, do you know how this kind of person is described in the history books, untrustworthy, unkind, shameless villain, you are embarrassed to roar in front of this official, this official can sue you, this official came to Yan'an Mansion to deal with you rogues, this official will never show mercy, as for what to appease him, this official ignores everything, and the official's goal is to kill them all."
"If you fall into the hands of this official, you have no chance of living, and this official sees that you didn't beg for mercy just now, so he will give you a good time, what grievances do you have, go underground and say it."
After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui pulled out the saber on Hong Xintao's body and cut it down.
A human head left the body in an instant, rolled to the ground, and the body that was not stained with mud fell immediately, blood splattered everywhere, Zheng Xunrui was not spared, and there was a lot of blood stuck to his body.
Song Renhong, who was beside him, had a pale face and a little soft body.
Zheng Xunrui's matter, he knows something, the youngest champion of the palace test in the Ming Dynasty, was enshrined as the Hanlin Cultivator, who knew that this Hanlin Cultivator actually came to Yan'an Mansion to serve as the prefect, and he shot so viciously that in front of everyone, he directly killed the mud.
After returning the saber to Hong Xintao, Zheng Xunrui's face turned slightly pale.
"Lord Song, what this official's nursing home lacks is cotton armor, and how many cotton armors are stored in the Mizhi County Treasury."
"My lord, there are still three hundred pairs of cotton armor."
"Very good, the cotton armor, bows and arrows, etc. in the treasury have all been taken out and equipped with the official's nursing home, and they will go to Jiazhou to exterminate the Liukou."
Song Renhong was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately spoke.
"Xiaguan will handle it."
"Okay, the official also went to Mizhi County to see, the official's nursing home, I don't want you to provide any food, this time the mud was wiped out by the official, but there are still many rogues, especially in the Fugu, Shenmu and Mizhi areas, the rogues are the most rampant, the official also knows that Fugu, Shenmu, Mizhi, Suide Prefecture and Jiazhou have suffered famine for several years in a row, and there has even been a situation of cannibalism, and many people have no way to live, and they have joined the Liukou team, and the official came to Yan'an Mansion to find a way to solve these problems. You also heard what the official said just now, in terms of exterminating the rogues, the official will never be soft, but if you can't let the people eat their stomachs, then the official can't say it, you are the magistrate of Mizhi County, how it used to be, the official doesn't care, if after the official takes office, there are still a large number of homeless people in Mizhi County, and the official will not be polite. ”
"The lower officials understand that the lower officials must do their best to prevent the emergence of displaced people."
"Don't say it so early, the official knows that you have no bottom in your heart, if you have no money and no food, you have no way to prevent the appearance of the homeless, now it is only the middle of September, the weather is cold, it seems that this year's winter must be extremely cold, if you can't solve the suffering of the people, why don't people rebel, at least be a starving ghost."
Song Renhong's face turned pale and he couldn't speak.
The young and excessive prefect in front of him gave him a completely different feeling, not only with an unusual official authority, but also with a terrifying temperament, so young, and he was the champion of the palace test, Hanlin Xiu, he was able to kill the rogue directly, his eyes didn't blink, after so many years, he saw it for the first time.
"Okay, Lord Song, this official will go to Mizhi County to have a look, as for the corpses of these rogues, please arrange for the sergeants of the county government garrison to come and deal with them."
