In mid-September, Taiyuan Fucheng

Taiyuan Fucheng and Yangqu County are the same city of the prefecture and county, at this time Li Jiwen and Jia Hongyu sat in the prefect's yamen, after more than ten days of busyness, at this time the two have mastered the situation of the entire Shanxi.

"So, let's do it!"

Li Jiwen nodded and said coldly: "Let's do it!" ”

Originally, Li Jiwen still had a bit of a fluke mentality, believing that as long as the policy of killing one person and setting an example of a hundred people was implemented in Shanxi, the new policy and the policy of military reform could be implemented in the whole of Shanxi as soon as possible.

But the reality gave Li Jiwen a resounding "slap".

According to the mutual confirmation of the inspection team, the Ninth Army's failure to collect at night, and the information of the Military Intelligence Department, Shanxi has been completely rotten to the roots, and the civilian officials in various places are corrupt and pervert the law, and no one implements the new policy or helps the people, but divides up all the money and grain allocated by the imperial court for the implementation of the new policy.

The same is true of military generals in various places, who have divided the money and grain allocated by the imperial court for military reform, and then used all of them to expand their families and soldiers and horses, and at the same time continue to occupy land, ignoring the imperial court's decrees on military reform.

As for the powerful and powerful in various places, they are even more despicable, oppressing the people, forcibly robbing property, and even forcing good people to become prostitutes, killing people and extorting goods, all of which are everywhere.

So Li Jiwen and Jia Hongyu decided that the problem in Shanxi could no longer be solved by rectification, and it was necessary to baptize it with blood!

Li Jiwen said: "Tomorrow, all groups of the inspection team will set off from Taiyuan City to Pingyang Prefecture, Zezhou, Lu'an Prefecture, Qinzhou, Liaozhou, Fenzhou and other places, and the officers and men of the Ninth Army will also set off together. ”

Jia Hongyu nodded and said, "This town has already given an order, and it has been issued to all the soldiers

command, as long as the situation allows, you can do it directly! ”

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Early the next morning, the officers and men of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Force, as well as the various units of the inspection group, went to various parts of Shanxi to implement the new policy and military reform policies on the spot.

Fenzhou.

Wei Dong, the general of the left battalion of the Ninth Army, led a general soldier into Fenzhou City, and the magistrates and other officials here rushed outside the city to greet them.

After everyone arrived at the state office, Wei Dong handed over the implementation of the new policy to a few civilian officials in the inspection team, and the civil officials such as Zhizhou naturally did not dare to slack off, even if they were unwilling, at this time, in the face of a large number of soldiers of the National Defense Force wearing helmets and armor, they could only accept their orders and cooperate.

But the next day, Weidong received news that in the Jinsuo Pass in the north of Fenzhou City, there was a strong man who occupied the Guancheng, and the soldiers of the National Defense Army who went to the Jinsuo Pass area to verify the cultivated land of the army were forcibly stopped outside the pass!

Wei Dong was furious when he heard the news, and immediately led a total of more than 1,000 soldiers to rush to Jinsuo Pass. At the same time, Wei Dong also brought the general judgment of Fenzhou for questioning.

Outside the Guancheng, Wei Dong looked at the group of private soldiers gathered at the gate of the Guancheng, and asked Tongju, "Who are those people?" ”

The general judge said respectfully: "General Qiyu, that person's name is Kang Yumin, he was originally a powerful man in the area of Jinsuoguan, his family is quite wealthy, there are many children in the clan, and there are hundreds of people gathered. ”

Originally, when the thieves occupied Shanxi, Kang Yumin entangled his subordinates to occupy the Golden Lock Pass, encroached on all the cultivated land of the people in the surrounding villages, and took refuge in the thieves and mixed with an official in charge of the brigade

Duty. ”

"Later, the main army of thieves was annihilated by the army led by the elder of the pavilion, and Kang Yumin changed his body and directly announced that he was anyway, but he still occupied the Golden Lock Pass as before, exploiting the surrounding people."

Wei Dong frowned and asked, "The Golden Lock Pass is so close to Taiyuan City, you don't care?" ”

"Oh, General Mingjian!"

The general judge said: "There are not many soldiers and horses left in Shanxi, and Taiyuan City, including the officials, can't get together fifty people, how can you cure such a strong man as Kang Yumin!" ”

Wei Dong frowned slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "Since this is the case, there is no reason to talk about it, just destroy it directly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Dong waved his hand, more than 1,000 officers and men of the Ninth Army had formed a horizontal formation, three rows of large horizontal formations were advancing mightily, all the bird gunners had already put on their bayonets, the artillery flag was pushing more than 40 artillery pieces in front of the front, and the flag was followed by Wei Dong if the flag was not collected at night, and the health flag and the baggage flag were also on standby by Wei Dong's side.

Ahead, Kang Yumin also thought about making a false deal with the officials and soldiers in front of him, and it was best to make some kind of agreement, so that he could continue to be powerful in the area of Jinsuoguan.

Anyway, aren't all the soldiers and generals of the court like this, as long as they give enough benefits, they can cover up the past, and they can't meet each other.

But what made Kang Yumin feel incredible was that the army of more than 1,000 people in front of him did not negotiate with him at all, but pressed over directly, and it seemed that he was going to start fighting directly!

"What the hell, who is this general, he is so stunned!"

Kang Yumin hurriedly ordered to enter the customs and prepared to lead hundreds of men and horses to defend it

Guancheng, and at the same time sent people to the mansion in Guancheng to pack up the softness and prepare to escape from the north gate.

Rumble!

But before these hundreds of men and horses entered the pass, the artillery flag had already been fired, and more than 40 Franc machine guns were aimed at the gate of the gate of the city, and hundreds of people suddenly became live targets, and hundreds of people were directly taken away with only one salvo, Kang Yumin was completely stupid by this scene, and his body was splashed with blood, and he rushed into the gate in horror.

Rumble!

There was another round of shelling, and there were not many powerful soldiers and horses left outside the Golden Lock Pass, and even the gate was directly shattered by a cannonball.

Seeing this, Wei Dong immediately ordered the army to rush in.

Thousands of birds stepped forward in formation, paused a few dozen paces away from the Golden Lock Pass, and began to fire a volley at the head of the city.

At this time, dozens of powerful soldiers on the city were directly shot, and there was no one on the city.

"Enter!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of grenadiers rushed to the front, and the explosions of earth-shattering thunder in the Golden Lock Pass came and went, and then the bird-gunners who rushed into the gate opened fire and shot one after another, and Kang Yumin and his soldiers were killed and wounded, and they were completely powerless to parry.

This fierce battle only lasted less than a stick of incense, and he was dumbfounded, even if he knew that the Wehrmacht was superior in strength and knew that the Wehrmacht was elite, he didn't expect that this battle would be so devastating, it was completely a massacre!

"Generals, generals, generals, mighty, martial!"

Wei Dong ignored the compliment of the general sentence, and then rode his horse and led his troops into the pass, at this time, the golden lock pass was full of corpses, and the smoke was everywhere.

Wei Dong frowned slightly, and asked the soldiers of the various departments to find that there was no thief leader, so some soldiers escorted Kang Yumin to him.

"This general, let's

If you have something to say, don't do things perfectly! ”

Wei Dong sneered and said, "Say it well? All right! ”

"You will return all the cultivated land that you have occupied, and at the same time make up the taxes owed to the imperial court over the years, and compensate the surrounding people for their losses over the years, and then this general will arrest you and put you in prison, and then punish you according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how about it?"

Kang Yumin's face turned hideous when he heard this, and he said angrily: "In this case, it is better to kill me!" ”

Wei Dong said coldly: "So, as you wish!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Dong directly hacked Kang Yumin to death, and then said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Immediately confiscate the Kang family and destroy the door!" ”

"Destroy the door?"

Tongju's eyes widened tremblingly, Wei Dong looked at it, and said coldly: "This fang betrayed the country, oppressed the people, and deserved to destroy the door, the general judge should not have an opinion, right?" ”

"No, no, the lower officials have no opinion, no opinion!"

On the same day, in the Golden Lock Pass, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Army rushed into the Kang family's mansion, beheaded more than 100 people of all ages in the mansion, and then copied out a large amount of property, after a preliminary count, there were more than 140,000 taels of silver, more than 80,000 stones of grain seized, and the rest of the real estate, land deeds, silk and satin, jewelry and jade, etc., have not had time to count.

Seeing this, Wei Dong said coldly: "All the registrations will be made and reported to the general town to know!" ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, in Xiwei, Taiyuan Fuzhen, Qi Haiwei, a general of the right battalion of the Ninth Army of the National Defense Army, led his troops to also encounter problems.

After Tao Yudi, the garrison of Zhenxi, welcomed Qi Haiwei and others into the acropolis, he just blindly set up a banquet and entertained him, refusing to mention the measures to implement military reform, such as dismissing the soldiers and horses of the guard station and disbanding the family.

Two days

Later, Qi Haiwei directly led his troops to surround the Zhenxi Acropolis, and then sent someone to Tao Yudi to send an "ultimatum".

"Let Lao Tzu disband the soldiers, obey the rearrangement of the Ministry of Defense, and fart!"

Tao Yudi said angrily to the guerrilla generals on the left and right, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Bai: "Without soldiers and horses, Lao Tzu is a fart!" When the thieves were kings and hegemons in Shanxi, where was the imperial court? Now I'm going to come and pick peaches, don't even think about it! ”

A guerrilla general said: "What is the general going to do?" ”

Tao Yudi said angrily: "The Acropolis is immediately under martial law, send out the night and do not collect, and order all troops and horses to return to the Acropolis immediately!" ”

The generals were shocked, this is going to tear their faces with the court? However, can the thousands of soldiers of the town and the west guard be able to resist the powerful offensive of the imperial defense army?

Tao Yudi said loudly: "What is the most important thing for the imperial court now? Recuperate! The imperial court will not take the risk of forcing the local government to forcibly implement the new policy and military reform, as long as our attitude is tougher, we will definitely be able to win suitable conditions from the imperial court, and then the glory and wealth of the rest of our lives will be settled! ”

Is that so?

The generals looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, what if the court really made up its mind, wouldn't everyone's net worth and lives be buried?

Tao Yudi looked at the hesitant crowd, and said coldly: "Why, after so many years, our brothers have been together, even if the thieves occupy all parts of Shanxi, they have not suffered, and now they can't have one heart?" ”

Everyone hugged their fists one after another, not daring to say anything, after all, Tao Yudi, the means of Shangguan, everyone knew in their hearts, for fear of being needled by Tao Yudi

That's right.

"Well, that's right, as long as we all have one mind, everything is easy to do, if anyone rebels halfway, don't care about General Ben's unsympathetic!"

The hearts of the people were shocked.
