After entering the county seat, the Runing battalion immediately divided into two routes, quickly seized and guarded the four gates of the county seat all the way, and began to sweep the entire county along the streets all the way.

In fact, the small cavalry that had been in a hurry to reconnoiter was a sceptic. When the county seat was swept away, the entire county immediately jumped up.

After Wu Shiwen and other gentry fled from Ningyang County, some well-informed people also packed up their softness, took their families and fled in all directions.

But at this time, the displaced people outside the city also got the news from the fleeing people, facing the undefended Ningyang County Town, how could those bold displaced people not enter the city to participate in the feast?

And the entry of the displaced people, coupled with the addition of the scoundrel Qingpi in the city, the entire Ningyang County immediately fell into a storm of looting and **. Fortunately, because of the escape of the big gentry households, they did not encounter any resistance when they entered the homes of those gentry, so those people basically did not set any fire. As a result, there was a situation in which the cavalry of the reconnaissance found the county town dark.

But the carnival lasted for most of the night, and in the early hours of the morning, most of those homeless people and scoundrels fell asleep, so the whole county seemed quiet.

However, the entry of the Runing camp immediately alarmed this group of people, and when they found out that it was a Ming army, they immediately scurried around like headless flies.

The soldiers of the Runing battalion did not expect so many people to come out of the darkness, but after a brief period of astonishment, the soldiers immediately began to act under the orders of their respective officers.

The action of the Runing battalion was to impose martial law throughout the county, and no one was allowed to walk around the streets of the county, otherwise they would be killed. After shouting a loud martial law order, the Runing battalion began to kill the displaced people along the streets.

In ancient times, because the county town had a city wall, it was impossible to build as big as Beijing City and Nanjing City. Therefore, it was half a day's work, and the heads of more than 500 people on the street, hiding in the homes of the fugitive gentry, the homeless people identified by the common people and the local scoundrels, hung on the battlements of the city wall of Ningyang County.

After settling the situation in the county seat, Wu Shigong immediately divided the cavalry into several teams to sweep away the homeless people and bandits near the county seat.

After another afternoon and the next day's sweeping, the homeless people and bandits near Ningyang County were basically swept away. In total, more than a hundred bandits and outcasts who dared to resist were beheaded. More than 1,800 displaced people were captured. There were also more than a dozen horses and a number of weapons seized.

After such ruthless methods were used, the public security situation in Ningyang County and the surrounding areas immediately reached the level of not closing the door at night. And Wu Shigong didn't look down on the more than 600 heads, so Wu Shiwen accepted them unceremoniously, using these heads, they local officials were able to make a good article.

For his own brother, Wu Shiwen certainly won't let him suffer. He immediately raised 5,000 taels of silver from the gentry, and then collected 500 stone of grain from the official warehouse of the county government to reward the Runing camp. And the soldiers of the Runing battalion also seized more than 3,000 taels of silver from the robbing homeless people and scoundrel green skins. In this way, there was also a harvest of more than 8,000 taels of silver and 500 stone of grain.

And for those captured refugees, Wu Shigong's Runing camp was very experienced. They arranged the captives in an open field near the county town and let them camp on their own.

Then the soldiers of the Runing battalion cooked a feast for the captives, and then announced that the captives had become the domestic slaves of the garrison in honor.

If you don't want to be a house slave, then leave the county seat twenty miles in one day immediately, otherwise, you will be killed. However, those who are left as domestic slaves will be able to eat enough in the future.

With such an arrangement, there was no need for the Runing Battalion to arrange soldiers to guard these prisoners, and those prisoners were basically stayed.

In this troubled world, human life is not valuable. But for the Runing camp, people are also very valuable. After those domestic slaves settled down, Wu Shigong immediately transferred more than 500 young men from them as auxiliaries for the Runing battalion, and then stepped up basic military training for these auxiliaries.

And those children, Wu Shigong asked Chi Erwa to organize them into a boy camp. As for those women, there is no need for Wu Shigong to worry about it. Those bachelors in the Runing camp were simply shushing and greeting the single women among those domestic slaves, and they were now thinking about Wu Shigong's promise before the expedition!

There are still some old and weak, and Wu Shigong is not ready to give up. Anyway, there are not many old and weak people, and it doesn't cost much food to feed them. In fact, in this successive year of disaster, many old and weak have been eliminated, so the number of these domestic slaves is not large.

That Wu Shiwen was not idle. He organized the young men of the city, strengthened the walls, and prepared for the rebellion. And Wu Shigong also sent several teams of spies to the north to keep abreast of the news of the incoming rebels.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes. On the third day, a messenger came from outside the city, and it was the magistrate of Qufu County, a neighboring county, who sent a messenger to order the Ming army to immediately rescue Qufu County after receiving a Ming army from Ningyang County.

When Wu Shigong heard the messenger's tone, he was so surprised that he couldn't even care about being angry. The magistrate of Qufu County was so big that he dared to order Wu Shiwen, the magistrate of Ningyang County, who was at the same level as him, and his own Runing Mansion to garrison.

Fortunately, Wu Shigong did not speak, because he saw that the fifth brother Wu Shiwen respectfully accepted the order, and promised that the Runing battalion accompanying Wu Shigong would immediately go to the rescue of Qufu County.

This move almost made Wu Shigong fall out of the eye. After the messenger left, Wu Shigong asked, "Who is the magistrate of Qufu County?" Little brother, I feel that his tone is similar to that of the emperor. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Shiwen replied angrily: "That Zhixian and the emperor are still a little behind, but there is not much difference!" ”

Wu Shigong was startled by these words, so Wu Shigong then asked, "Then who is he?" Relatives of the emperor? But the emperor's relatives can't be the magistrate! ”

"It's Sheng Yangong." Wu Shiwen said the answer.

"Who is Sheng Yangong?"

"Why are you so unlearned? Sheng Yan Gong is the descendant of the Confucian saint! ”

Wu Shigong suddenly understood, it turned out to be the grandson of Confucius's grandson, the grandson of the grandson ....... Wu Shigong didn't know that the Shengyan Gong was not only passed down from generation to generation, but also the magistrate of Qufu County in the Ming Dynasty was also served by the contemporary Shengyan Gong.

The identity of this Shengyan Gong is indeed not much different from that of the emperor. And in the eyes of the literati, the emperor can still scold and scold, and fight for a straight face! And who dares to scold Sheng Yangong? Do literati dare to deceive teachers and destroy their ancestors?

Then there is no way, the rescue of Qufu County has risen to a political height, not only to rescue, but also to go all out to rescue.

So Wu Shigong left all the infantry and artillery in Ningyang County, and he himself led his own army and all the cavalry, a total of 700 cavalry, together with Wu Shiwen, the magistrate of Ningyang County, to gallop to rescue Qufu County and rescue the descendants of Confucius.
