0761 Siege
The soldiers of the Wu'an Army are well-trained, brave in combat, and the coordination of the arms is quite reasonable! The pikemen are responsible for defending the outside of the courtyard wall, and anyone who jumps down from the wall will be poked through a transparent hole by the spear in mid-air! And when they rushed into the courtyard, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, and the fire and gun soldiers were behind, so they could defend at close range or attack from afar.
So in less than a meal, the entire Zhuangzi has been cleaned! Now the soldiers are conducting house-to-house searches and gathering villagers for them to identify each other and make sure that no one is mixed in. Look at the book
In addition, in the open space in the middle of the village, corpses are being stacked on top of each other. These corpses are the salt lords who have always refused to surrender, or surrendered too slowly and directly ***! And more than 20 people knelt on the ground next to the corpse!
These swordsmen all saw that the wind was not good, and they quickly surrendered to get a life! As for the salt barons, they never surrender! That's because what they do is a head-killing business, and if they fall into the hands of the government, it is a death, it is better to fight hard, maybe they can escape! It's a pity that what they encountered today was the Wu'an Army with an extremely strong desire to fight, so they directly turned into corpses and fell here!
Receiving the notice that the battle was over, Liu Haojia rode his horse and walked into the village. At this time, an officer of the brocade guard stepped forward and saluted and said, "Commander, the villagers have already checked, they are all local villagers, and there are no outsiders anymore!"
Liu Haojia said, "Then find out who arranged these people on the Zhuangzi?"
The Jinyi guard officer said, "I asked, it's a big grain merchant here, named Qian Shounian! Well, this Zhuangzi itself is in his name, and the farmers are also his tenants!"
Afterwards, the officer gave Liu Haojia a brief introduction to the situation he had inquired about from the villagers. Only then did Liu Haojia know that Qian Shounian was famous in Datong City! To put it simply, the grain business he directly controls in Datong City is more than forty percent! Indirectly grasp and be able to influence more than 30%! In other words, he alone has almost taken over most of the business in and around Datong City!
But Liu Haojia didn't care, although a grain merchant like him looked huge and terrifying, Liu Haojia knew best that people like him were just pawns in front! The real big dick has been hiding in the shadows! And I'm afraid that the money will have to be handed over if I earn a part of it!
However, this did not prevent him from venting his anger with his own hands, so Liu Haojia said directly: "You personally led a team of people to seal the Qian family's mansion!" All the people who are related to him are also locked up in the house, but tell those who are in charge of the store, don't stop the grain store, and continue to do business! By the way, by the way, I will say hello to the government office, you know what to say, right?"
The officer nodded again and again and said, "Of course I do! When the marshal was returning to Beijing, he passed by this Zhuangzi and was about to take a break, but he found that there was a group of robbers entrenched in the Zhuangzi, so he easily exterminated them!"
Liu Haojia nodded first when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "What you said earlier is good, but the second half is a little bit off!" I, Wu Ninghou, personally took action just to eliminate a gang of thieves? They are preparing to kill officials and rebel in Datong Town!"
The Jinyi guard officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile, which was considered to be a promise. And he also knows that these people are really not wronged in the name of rebellion! Nearly 100 people gathered together with all kinds of weapons, and when they encountered officers and soldiers, they dared to resist arrest and fight, saying that they would never be wrong to rebel! And they are dead anyway, it makes no difference whether it is a robber robbery or a rebellion.
After receiving Liu Haojia's order, this Jinyi guard officer immediately arranged for his subordinates to move. When the war was fought, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army took the lead, and when they did these things, these soldiers were completely unfamiliar with them, and they had to come forward with Jinyiwei.
And Liu Haojia divided things very clearly, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army were specially used to fight, and the other dirty work was naturally handed over to Jinyiwei to do. Once these jobs are handed over to the army to do, after a long time, this army will be corrupted, and then it will become an ordinary Ming army, and it will be useless with advanced weapons!
The Jinyi guard officer first ordered a team of Jinyi guards, and then accompanied a team of soldiers to take them out, and then Liu Haojia commanded other Jinyi guards to ask the villagers to record confessions, collect corpses and cut off their heads, and the whole thing was done in a very short time!
The only thing that is discordant is that
Some swordsmen who surrendered, he knew that he had been accused of rebellion, and shouted that they were wronged one by one, but who would care about them? When they pretended to be robbers to rob and kill, the robbed people must have begged them bitterly!
As for the villagers, it's much better! At first, they were frightened and then hid in their rooms for a long time, and then they were driven to the center of the village to identify each other. I thought that Zhuangzi was going to suffer a military disaster, but I didn't expect that these soldiers would turn a blind eye to property and women, and there was no sign of disturbing the people at all! even wrapped up the injured villagers by mistake and lost money!
This made them feel that the soldiers and horses in front of them were definitely not the border army of the Ming Dynasty, but the men and horses of the Beijing camp! In their opinion, only in the Jingjing Division, the soldiers at the feet of the Son of Heaven can be so honest and love the people like sons!
Therefore, after confirming that the soldiers were safe, the villagers also cooperated with confidence and signed a large number of confessions that they did not know and did not know. However, the officers did not harm them, because he also knew that Liu Haojia did not like this.
Therefore, it is clearly written in the confession that these villagers were coerced and imprisoned by those robbers who were ready to rebel, and wanted to disguise the whole Zhuangzi as peaceful! If it weren't for the troops passing by here, the interior of this Datong town would have suffered!
The matter on Zhuangzi was quickly resolved and did not cause any disturbance. But the Jinyi guard who brought people into the city made Datong City a mess!
Just as they were approaching Datong City, the soldiers guarding the city saw a large group of men and horses approaching quickly, and the soldiers guarding the city gate wanted to stop them for interrogation. However, the petty officer who watched the city gate was a clever ghost, and directly kicked the soldier whose gun had just been raised horizontally.
Then he kicked and beat all the soldiers and pedestrians at the city gate, leaving a passage, and then nodded and watched as the Jinyi Guard and the soldiers of the brigade swarmed in, without even pinching him! But this is what he wants! The more unattended a petty official like him is at this time, the safer it is! So when Jinyiwei entered the city with the soldiers, he was also completely relieved!
