Chapter 337: Brave Volunteers

If it is true that Chongzhen is in power, if it is the Donglin Party in power, Li Xin will definitely be pitted to death, but these two assumptions do not exist, and the impostor Zhu Jian, the son of heaven, is naturally unhappy with the Xian Empire, and also instructed Li Xin to rebel, so the big pit dug by the Xian Empire is useless.

After some difficult negotiations, Li Xin got a large amount of military expenses, and the expeditionary force set off from the camp and left the Hanyang royal city, sending off a lot of officials and people of the Xian Empire, this time it was a real heartfelt farewell, in their eyes, the expeditionary force was the plague god, and the great grace that had saved their lives was ignored.

Li Xin didn't bother to pay attention to these messy things, led the army to retreat, along the way through the state capitals, counties and towns, the localities had to be responsible for supplying a few days of grain and grass, this is the two sides negotiated conditions, but some local officials or pretended to be poor, or short catties and less than two, or cheating, and there were bull pens playing big names, the expeditionary force did not reason with you at all, directly occupied the city, smashed open the official warehouse, and wiped out the silver of the grain storage warehouse inside, and even the landlords and old wealthy merchants in the city also suffered, and the worst thing was the state official who played a big name, and even his official residence was ransacked. Two young and beautiful concubines disappeared, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out on the spot.

"The name of the commander of this one year was ruined by an odious stick......"

Li Xin gritted his teeth and cursed, he governed the army very strictly, rewarded and punished clearly, and was very popular with the soldiers, but the bastard state official forced him to make a fortune and let the soldiers loot, during which he encountered some resistance, but they were all killed by rounds of gunfire and some people died.

The word stick comes from the handwritten letter written by the Son of Heaven to him, although I don't understand what it means, but I also know that it is definitely not a good word, there is a scolding and BS meaning in it, anyway, it is buckled on the head of the Xian Empire.

Several senior officers bowed their heads and snickered, ransacking the house and blaming the family, the commander was too dark-bellied.

The army withdrew to Uiju, and the logistics commander stationed there had already received the news that several spacious military camps had been built in advance, and the main army could move in as soon as it was withdrawn.

The construction of the Uiju border city and the fortress is still in full swing, the high and thick and solid concrete city wall of the Uiju border city has been half built, the fortress is slightly smaller, and the construction is preferred, the city wall has been built, a total of more than a dozen forts have been built, and buildings such as houses and warehouses are currently being built.

The construction of the fortress does not employ the people of the Xian Empire, only prisoners of war, and then employs a large number of people from the country, followed by soldiers and requisitioned laborers, although the infrastructure and equipment are backward, but the number of people is strong, and there is no high standard and high standard requirements of later generations, and the progress of the project is very fast.

The labor force of the construction of the border city of Yiju is basically the common people of the Xian Empire, most of them are laborers, there is no salary, and the small half is hired, and a small amount of wages are paid for food, and it is okay to exchange it for food, which is paid by the expeditionary force, and the progress of the project is a little slow.

The people of the border city of Yizhou were tossed the most miserable by the Jin army, although the lord of Li issued an order to transfer grain and other materials from all over the country, but after the officials and lords were detained layer by layer, there was not much left, and the people were still seriously short of food, they could only sell their labor in exchange for food to make ends meet, and under the quiet propaganda of some well-intentioned people, many people quietly changed their household registration and became the people of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately enjoyed all kinds of welfare treatments, and they were so happy that their mouths could not close.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the small action of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau secretly playing in Yizhou City can't be concealed at all, because there are too many people who want to join the Ming household registration, one pass ten, ten pass hundred, it has long been a semi-open secret, and the officials of the Xian Empire can't sit still, so they hurriedly come to the door to ask.

After all, the expeditionary force was at a loss, so they could only squeak vaguely and play Tai Chi to delay time, Yan Tienan had to release the puppet brave volunteers who were being trained in advance, and the five hundred wolf thieves who were transferred over to assist in the operation were also released.

The first action of the wolf bandits was to rob a logistics transport team of the expeditionary force, robbing a lot of military supplies, and the transport team "killed and wounded" more than 100 people, and another fresh caravan was also looted, killing and wounding five people.

On the same day, another small caravan was also ambushed by the Yongyi Army, killing and wounding three people, and the banner of this Yongyi Army was exactly the same as that of the Loyal Yongjun, all of them were against the Li Dynasty, killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and beating local tyrants to divide the land, causing a shock several times greater than that of the wolf bandits.

The wolf thieves are famous in the Horqin grassland, coming and going like the wind, out of nowhere, but everything of value is robbed, and if they dare to resist, they will be slaughtered, very murderous, and bold, they not only dare to rob the tribes, even the powerful Jin Empire and the Ming Empire dare to rob, people hate and scold their mothers but are helpless, the Jin Empire and the Ming Empire each sent a large army to encircle and suppress several times, but they did not take advantage of the slightest.

The Xian Empire and the Ming Dynasty are only separated by a river, and the two countries are interconnected with each other, so they have naturally heard of the terrifying notoriety of the wolf bandits, but they did not expect that the wolf bandits would suddenly enter the territory of the Xian Empire to make waves, and the Xian people in the Yizhou area were frightened.

But then again, although the wolf bandit group is famous, but after all, it is just a group of robbers, which is a certain danger to the Xian Empire, but it cannot shake the country's foundation, the brave army and the loyal army are different, they are a force that kills officials and rebels, and they really want to dig the foundation of the Li dynasty, the nature is completely different, and the danger is the greatest, and no one in power will tolerate it, and they will not be relieved to be exterminated.

The fresh officials of Yizhou City were frightened by these sudden bad news, a few years ago, although the loyal and brave army that turned the country upside down, although it was defeated, but it broke up into six or seven strands of escape, one of which flowed to Yizhou, and caused a disaster in Yizhou for a while, and the Yizhou army spent a lot of effort to drive this group of thieves away, losing more than 3,000 soldiers, and spending countless money and food, everyone changed color when they talked about the loyal army, and now they are cold and rushed out of a brave army, can they not be scared to death?

If Yizhou did not suffer from the war and military disasters, even if the Yongyi army could not be wiped out, at least it could be held according to the city and wait for reinforcements, but the city of Yizhou was broken by the Jin army and burned and looted, miserable, although now there is an army of 2,000 people, but the weapons and armor are pitiful, you can imagine how scummy the combat power is.

Fortunately, there is the Ming Expeditionary Army, which can help them wipe out the Yongyi Army, but, according to Li Xin's urine nature, if he doesn't break some money, he can't be moved at all, and the household registration incident can't be mentioned, but it must be stopped, otherwise let the lord know, and the trouble will be big.

After some hard negotiations and bargaining, the bigwigs of the two sides finally reached an agreement, the expeditionary force sent troops to help clear out the Yongyi army, and could no longer dig the corners, and Yizhou was responsible for supplying money, food and military expenses.

"Sister, can you conclude that those people dare not report?" Afterwards, Tang Tiantian asked curiously, she and her eldest sister Jin Shengnan participated in the negotiation throughout the whole process, but the guards dressed as Li Xin stood aside and listened, and did not speak from beginning to end.
