Chapter 92: Poison Pill 7
In fact, this can't be blamed on Liang Daya, it's just that Yang Xin is too low-key, since he defeated Weihaiwei, he has been concentrating on training, plus the Daxing Army has strict military discipline, and never goes out of the barracks to harass the people, even if it is a farmer near Weihaiwei, few have seen the Daxing Army.
In addition, when recruiting the homeless, it was the sea harrier who was recruiting, and he had hundreds of people, and he called down the people who stayed behind in the cottage, and then mobilized these men to call friends and pull relatives, basically all of them were recommended internally, and more than 1,000 people were recruited quickly, and they didn't send much news to the outside at all.
Liang Daya felt a chill in his back, stood up, and said, "Brothers, bring someone to copy the guys, let's go out and meet them for a while!" ”
When everyone went out, he grabbed the fat man and whispered in his ear: "You take fifty brothers, pack up some gold, silver and jewelry, pick up the valuables, and wait at the back door, I will go to the front to see, and if the situation is not right, run away." ”
The fat man nodded and quietly left.
……
Yang Xin looked coldly at the crooked bandits in front of the cottage gate, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Ten tiger squat cannons fired together, the cannon rumbled, and suddenly exploded into the camp of the thief army, although there were not many people killed, only more than ten people, but when did the big man see so many cannons?
Frightened, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, thinking of retreating to the cottage and holding on to the wall.
However, Yang Xin didn't give him this opportunity, and with an order, the whole army attacked, Guan Changfeng took the lead, and rushed over with the cavalry, Du Datou followed closely behind, protecting two hundred muskets to follow and kill.
The thief army was suddenly in chaos, just a charge of the cavalry, and the retreat turned into a rout, and then it was out of control.
Before Liang Daya and the remaining 500 people walked to the gate of the village, he saw a large number of thieves crying and shouting for their mothers, running towards him, and a team of cavalry behind them was chasing and killing, and people were constantly being cut to the ground.
On the battlefield, never leave your back to the enemy, this is Yang Xin's most common words to his soldiers during military training, in fact, in any battle, when there are the most casualties, it is always a time of rout, and even if the whole army is wiped out, it will inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
But the bandits apparently didn't understand this, when had they ever seen such a fierce and well-equipped army?
The cavalry and infantry are all heavily armoured, and the musketeers are uniform, a platoon of guns kills dozens of people, Liang Daya's 500 people were routed and rushed The formation was a bit chaotic, and more than 100 fell after three rows of guns, Liang Daya ran to the back door with a few henchmen without hesitation.
The battle ended quickly, with only a few casualties, more than 200 enemies killed, and more than 700 prisoners.
Yang Xin listened to Daniel Zhang's report in the cottage lobby.
"King Xing, and also rescued more than seventy women, how to deal with these captives and women?"
Yang Xin suddenly felt a headache, it is not easy to transform these bandits, he has already eaten hundreds of sea harriers before, that is, there are sea harriers who surrendered themselves, and it is not easy to make trouble with them, now Liang Daya has run away, so many people, his army is seriously insufficient, where are so many troops watching them all day long?
As for these women, it is also difficult to deal with, the Ming Dynasty people are bound by etiquette and religion, and these women who have been insulted by the bandits, I am afraid that most of them will be rejected by the locals after they go back, and it will be difficult to survive.
After thinking about it, he said: "Find out the old thieves among these thieves, behead them all, and bring the rest back to open up the wasteland, bring these women back to the camp, and let them go if they have family members to claim them, and leave those who don't have them for the time being, and hand them over to the Zhang family to take care of first." ”
Daniel Zhang took the order and left, and soon, hundreds of old thieves were screened, all of them were killed in the cottage, and the heads were hung on the gate of the village, and then the army escorted the prisoners, and also got the booty from the mountain thief's treasury, nearly 20,000 taels of silver, countless grains, and livestock, and rushed back to the guardhouse.
Back in the camp, Yang Xin decided to reward the three armies, each rewarded five taels of silver, and the generals had more meritorious contributions, and Guan Changfeng was also rewarded with national status as he wished.
The army rested for three days, and Yang Xin held a banquet, gathered all the henchmen of Daxing, and feasted these big families.
On the banquet, Yang Xin sat in the center, and on his left hand was his henchman, Daniel Zhang, Bai Youcai, Huang Fuxing, Du Datou, Jiao Cripple, Xu Sheng, Yang Yubu and more than ten people, and on his right hand were more than ten squires, led by Li Anbo, the patriarch of the Li family.
After staggering, Li Anbo stepped forward to toast and said: "Fortunately, King Xing is stationed in Weihai to keep me and others safe, and I wish Daxing a great future!" ”
Yang Xin was not polite, dried the wine, and said with a smile: "Elders, if Daxing wants to develop and grow, it has to rely on the support of the squires, this king is here to assure you that Daxing will never learn from Li Zicheng and other rogues, private property is sacrosanct, and you can definitely rest assured under my Daxing's rule." ”
The landlords were overjoyed when they saw him say this, they all heard that Yang Yubu was captured by King Xing, and still did not rob him of a penny of silver, and even the requisitioned land was purchased at the market price.
Li Anbo said with a smile: "King Xing promised so much, the old man is naturally relieved, I and other squires might as well recommend it together, and Daxing will take over Haining Prefecture and govern one side, what do you think?" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the other squires, and the others naturally agreed in unison, one of them said: "What Elder Li said is extremely true, now the prefect of Haining only knows how to collect taxes, but the thieves are coming, but there are many prevarications, they can't send troops to suppress the thieves, they can't keep one side safe, what's the use of such an official government!" ”
Yang Xin was dumbfounded when he heard this, these people were going to fight the prefect of Haining by themselves.
Another middle-aged man said: "Exactly, now that the Denglai Dashun army has left, there is no one in charge at all, all parts of the country are holding together to defend themselves, Haining does not have a strong army, there is no way to deter the thieves, King Xing at this time ascended to the heights, Haining squires and villagers will echo in groups, and hope that King Xing will not refuse." ”
Yang Xin sneered in his heart, you gang of people, you people have forced the people to rebel because they can't eat, and now there are rebels everywhere, and now there is no one to protect you, just see if Lao Tzu can fight, just be your thug!
It's not that cheap.
Yang Xin said with a smile: "Everyone's hospitality, this king is disrespectful, but this king is now a small number of generals, after this battle, the vitality is greatly injured, this king decided to expand the army, at least a thousand strong troops, in order to suppress Haining, this weapon and grain, are all problems." ”
The people on the field were all old foxes, and when they heard it, they knew that Yang Xin was crying for support, everyone looked at each other, Li Anbo squinted and smiled: "King Xing can rest assured, we have already discussed, the village where we are located, the future taxes will no longer be handed over to Haining Prefecture, and all will be handed over to Daxing according to King Xing's requirements." ”
Yang Xin is overjoyed, this is also taking the initiative to ask for management, okay, then meet you first, and wait for Lao Tzu's strength to grow in the future, and then slowly clean up one by one, so he said to Bai Youcai: "Bai Youcai, I have written it down, my Daxing's agricultural taxes are paid according to three layers, and I will never learn from Da Ming to pay miscellaneous taxes, and there is no other tax on this one." ”
I thought, take your time, haha, the commercial tax must be collected in the future, now calm people's hearts.
Bai Youcai is overjoyed to receive his life and has an income again, this tax collection is not comparable to any business, and there can be a more profitable business than this?
These shareholders are going to make a fortune again.
