Chapter 458: Borrowing the strategy of suppressing bandits
In Da Yuling, a huge yellow flag was hung up, and the word "hemp" was written on it.
Since the incident in southern Jiangxi, Ma Jun Lianke Changning, Huichang, Ruijin, and Shicheng have opened up the connection with the water transportation of the Ganjiang River.
The grain purchased by Nanchang Station from Huguang could be transported directly to them through the Ganjiang River.
At present, under their rule, there are already four counties, and these four places are all obtained from the hands of Zhang Shiwang and Huang Yong.
The officers and soldiers continued to pretend to be dead, and they stayed in the city, not daring to inspect the situation, and they didn't even know what was happening in these four counties.
I knew that there was a group of bandits who had driven Zhang Shiwang and Huang Yong into the mountains, and the rebels in the four counties seemed to have been cleaned up.
But the bandits are powerful, even the four counties of Lianke are forgotten, and they also play the slogan of "knife in hand, follow me, kill the rich man, and rob the fort", which is much stronger than the ordinary rebels.
At least in the eyes of the officials of the Ganzhou government, the bandits are a hundred times more difficult to deal with than ordinary bandits.
Li Yong stood on the Da Yuling Pass, looking at the lush mountains, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He now has more than 2,000 people under his command, except for the headquarters of a company, the rest are all young and strong.
These young men were still cowering at first, but after being drilled for more than a month, and after a few more battles, they instantly became vigorous.
The original elite garrison of Southern Jiangxi was all transferred away when they were fighting the Huangren, leaving behind a group of wine bags and rice bags.
Even the shortfall was not filled, and Cao Jun, the new commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi, could not subdue his soldiers at all, so he could only let them eat empty salaries.
Now retribution is coming, and the bandits who were originally beaten by the official army have all come down the mountain to chase the official army.
And the intention of the "bandits" has always been very clear, that is, to open up the Ganjiang-Da Yuling line, control this transportation line, and then be able to transport materials in and people out.
Li Yong's duty is to defend Da Yuling after taking it, and by the way, he will try to pull as many good people into the water as possible with the surrounding affairs.
In a short time, more than 20 cavalrymen escorted a group of civilians to the pass, and these civilians went into battle lightly, with only one burden on their bodies.
They cried and cried, their faces were expressionless, and they had just eaten a full meal for a few days with Ma Ye, but they were told that the government would vigorously suppress them, they were all the first batch of people who "raised righteousness", and there were people in the family who joined the Ma Army, so this is the rebellion of the Zhujiu clan.
Coupled with the fact that the Ma army continued to exaggerate the ferocity of the Ming army and the persuasion of some cadres, they all had to go to Eastern Qin to find a new way to live.
Thinking that the land that has just been allocated is not their own, these good people cry more intensely, leaving the Great Yuling, it is no longer their hometown, this short mile of pass stone road, they walk extremely slowly.
Li Yong wanted to laugh when he saw it, this trick was too treacherous! As long as a young man is coerced, the whole family is equivalent to being dragged into the water, and they have to go if they don't want to!
The knife was in the hands of these bandits, and these good people had no choice but to run away.
As for these young men who have taken refuge in the bandits, they wish their families would run away, but they want to follow Ma Ye and do great things!
"Lian...... General, according to our reconnaissance, there is a Dengjiapo five miles northwest of the country, and there is a market town, and there is a landlord's mansion in it. The herald He An ran over with his face covered.
"Oh, is the family business big? Brother of the stalk, can you find out? ”
"The general can rest assured, the landlord's house is big, and the tiles on the top are all green tiles, so it must be wrong!"
"That's good! Bring some brethren tonight, and let's go and vote for him!" ”
…………
Ganzhou City, this fortified city was built in the Song Dynasty, on the basis of the Tang city wall, this was planned and added.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ganzhou City ushered in the expansion again, and this time Ganzhou City was built into "Iron Ganzhou".
It's really Tie Ganzhou! The foundation stone of Ganzhou City was solidified with molten iron when it was built. Coupled with the drainage system built during the Northern Song Dynasty, even a flood that is rare for thousands of years cannot be submerged.
Moreover, it is built according to the water potential, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and dug and irrigated into a moat on one side.
If you really have the heart to defend the city and unite as one, many cities in Jiangxi, even the county towns along the river will be difficult to conquer!
Therefore, the rebel army was so frightened that he held on to the city, and it can only be said that the Southern Gan Ming army no longer has the ability to fight in the field.
This is not to blame Cao Jun, nor can it be blamed on the soldiers of the Ming army in Ganzhou, it is really Jin Ze who took away the elite, and has since transferred troops from Southern Jiangxi many times.
As a result, these Southern Jiangxi soldiers were either annihilated or taken prisoner. On the contrary, it made Nangan fall into the emptiness of the garrison.
At this moment, the prefect Yamen, the prefect Zhou Gu, the same knowledge Yu Kairui, the general judge Chen Zishi, and the chief soldier Cao Jun are all frowning.
The will issued by the imperial court has been received, but a group of bandits have emerged, through inquiry, this gang of bandits is holding a long gun and covering their faces, but it is this kind of action that has no silver of three hundred taels here, which has strengthened the opinions of several people!
"Alas, it seems that this bandit, even if he is not a black man, he has nothing to do with a black man!" Zhou Gu sighed.
Nanjiang knows more about the situation in Eastern Qin than in the inland areas, just because Nanjiang also has commercial and trade contacts with Eastern Qin, and the defeat of the Ming army by the Tu people, so it is natural to pay more attention.
Yu Kairui snorted coldly: "This thing is the lice on the bald man's head, obviously!" Looking at the entire southeast, how can there ever be bandits who make good use of firearms? I'm afraid it's not a black man, secretly sending an army here to stir up the situation! ”
"It's hard to do!" Chen Zishi clasped his hands and said: "We are helpless for a few bandits, we can only use the help of the village Yong, if the bandits are black people at the moment, I am afraid that this Nanjiang will never have peace, but what the lower officials don't understand is, why are the black people so secretive?" ”
"Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming!" Zhou Gu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "But this bandit's behavior is really weird!" This official does not have much attainment in military affairs, but he also found that the behavior of the bandits these days is very restrained, and after they conquered the four county seats, there is no news! ”
Saying that, a few people turned their eyes to the general soldiers of Nangan, Cao Jun coughed, twisted his eyebrows and said: "The intention of the bandits is obvious, it seems to be to open up the Ganjiang River and the first line of Da Yuling, plus there are rumors that the bandits have been beating the landlords, coercing the young and strong, and have not committed tyrannical acts, which shows that this group of bandits is extremely restrained, and after achieving the intention, they will begin to consolidate!"
If this is the case, then there must be foreign aid from bandits on the Ganjiang River, and this big Yuling communication with Guangdong must also be convenient for them to transfer materials! If this bandit is a traitor, then they must be taking advantage of robbing the rich to help the poor, to fill their pockets, and to make a sum of money! ”
"That's not right!" Zhou Gu narrowed his eyes and said: "With the wealth of the people, how can you look at this bit of wealth, if the bandits are really people, they must have other intentions!" They were coerced by young and strong, and they were disciplined all the way, and these four counties were still captured from bandits, which shows that this gang of bandits is not bandits! It's really asking for money, and the appetite of the people is not so small! So...... What they are asking for...... Person! ”
Yu Kairui agreed: "In the past few years, I have also heard that the people of Huang have collected the displaced people and given one tael of silver each, saying that the conditions are extremely generous!" As long as you are willing to follow them to Dongqin, you will divide the fields and houses! In the black army, there are also many fugitive traitors who shave their hair! It is really possible that the people of Israel are eager for the population, and they are really here for the population! ”
"Wouldn't it be like this to make my Ganzhou Mansion into a white land? This is absolutely not a no-go! Chen Zishi said excitedly.
Zhou Gu raised his eyes to look at Cao Jun and found that the chief soldier had kept his head down, obviously unable to count on it.
He coughed and said, "If it's just for the sake of the population, things will be easier to do!" ”
The other three were busy looking at the ground, and all of them knew this, but they had to be careful when ventilating, otherwise it would be easy to take the blame.
Especially Cao Jun, who was already scolding the enemy for avoiding war, was even more reluctant to express his stance at the moment.
Zhou Gu continued: "I watched the bandits act, very disciplined, since they opened up the Ganjiang River, the first line of the Great Yuling, it means that it is to facilitate the transfer of materials and population, I heard that the trade route has been restored!" Many bandits have died under the encirclement and suppression of bandits, such elite bandits...... If you can help us suppress the bandits, this ......"
Cao Jun moved when he heard this, and the other two were also nervous, and with the help of the Huang people, the Southern Jiangxi Rebellion was completely quelled, so why not when the people were gone?
There are so many floating waves in the mountains, just say hello, there are always people who are willing to come out to farm!
"But the bandits will help fight other bandits?" Yu Kairui asked.
"Gotta try!" Zhou Gu said: "We are a business without capital, and it is not impossible to communicate with the bandits!" If all they want is the population, then they can be left alone, and then they will ...... They have almost collected the population, these four county towns, the lost territory, can't they be easily recovered? ”
Hum - this is said to Cao Jun's heart, if so, this is a great achievement, not only can the original cowardly enemy avoid the war charge can be escaped, but also can be rewarded.
Yu Kairui and Chen Zishi glanced at each other, and they both knew that they didn't speak.
Zhou Gu was slightly proud, if he could promote the strategy of using hemp to control bandits, then they Ganzhou Sansi only needed to sit back and enjoy the success.
As for coercing good people? That's those traitors themselves who have been bewitched, and they want to turn their backs on Da Ming and follow the black people, and take care of Lao Tzu's!
In a word: the chaos must be peaceful, the hat must be protected, and the court must be laked, but life cannot be fought, how can others manage so much?
Several people quickly agreed that they had to press the news, not let people know that there were people in Nanjiang, and they had to coax the people to see if they could reach a deal.
