Chapter 89 Yu Jia'ao Blood Case
(It is inevitable to ask my brothers for some red tickets every Monday! Brothers, stand up!)
Of course, this does not mean that the local situation will be completely calm. Although relatively speaking, after Xing Tianjun hanged the three murderers of Yangcheng, he expelled or annexed some local small pole forces. The local situation is indeed much more stable, but in the north of Yangcheng, there are still some small forces that are not enough. I can't see that the foreigners of the Xingtian Army are so full of foreign households in the boundary of Yangcheng.
Naturally, some people have the courage to sneak into the sphere of influence of the Xing Tianjun, looting here and causing some trouble for the Xing Tianjun.
Of course, there are also some uneasy ruffians in the local area. After seeing that there were no bandits, they began to move and secretly gathered together. Several people did some bad things together, stealing a chicken and touching a dog. They dared not do big bad things, but they also secretly did a lot of small bad things.
Even a group of land reform teams under Fu Deming, in a marginal village, were attacked by a group of about 20 bandits. Several members of the land reform team were killed on the spot, which caused certain obstacles to the work of land reform.
But there is no need for Xing Tianjun to ask the local people to do this kind of thing, and the people also know who is more important to them, so as long as they find someone trying to destroy in this area, even if they dare not rise up to fight back, at least they dare to secretly inform the people of Xing Tianjun.
As soon as the Xing Tianjun stationed in Lianhuazhai receives the news, it will immediately take the scouts as the first, and send a small group of combat troops to go straight to the place where the bandits appear, either expel them or solve them on the spot.
To a certain extent, Xing Tianjun has also adopted a high-pressure attitude towards banditry in this area. As long as it is found that someone dares to plunder the local area, or enters the area under their control from the outside to do bad things, it will send soldiers and horses as soon as possible to quickly eliminate them, and for the captured ruffians, If it is light, it will be used to dig and work hard, and if it is heavy, it will be directly tied to the entrance of the village and cut off the head to make an example.
After causing some nearby bandits to suffer several big losses, they knew that Xingtian's military fruit was really not easy to deal with. Like a frightened bird, he did not dare to set foot in this area and make trouble in this area, but this kind of thing was not cut off because of this. Some people would sneak into the area controlled by Xing Tianjun. Attack the village, burn, kill and plunder.
After inspecting the local situation, Xiao Tianjian also found this problem. When he visited a small village called Yujiaao on the south bank of the Huze River, he saw that this place had just experienced a disaster. From the outside of Yujiaao Village, he began to see the bodies of two people and large pieces here. The blood stains, it should be the local villagers, and then Xiao Tianjian and Tietou and other guards immediately became alert. The guards immediately dispersed and protected Xiao Tianjian and Fan Yutong's carriage.
"Check the body on the ground!" Xiao Tianjian pushed away the iron head in front of him and said with a very ugly face. In his Xing Tianjun-controlled area, someone would fall outside the entrance of the village in broad daylight, which was unacceptable to him.
So the soldiers immediately came forward to check the body at the entrance of the village, and immediately replied to Xiao Tianjian, "It seems that the villagers here were cut to death with a knife from behind!"
The iron head immediately said, "Falert the alert! Zhou Jian took two brothers into the village to check! As soon as something happens, warn immediately!"
A personal guard immediately nodded in response, nodded two of his men, pulled out his waist knife and flew into the village. Xiao Tianjian looked at the village in front of him and quietly waited for the news.
Not long after, the guard named Zhou Jian rushed out of the village, came to Xiao Tianjian, and immediately reported, "General Qi, there are more than 50 people in the village. At this time, only an old man is still alive, but he has also been stabbed. I guess he can't stand it! The others were not killed, but abducted! I haven't even let go of the child! The old man said that a group of more than 20 people came here in the morning, and they all had local accents, but I don't know who assigned them. After these people entered the village, they began to kill people without saying a word. After robbing several girls and daughters in the village, they cleaned up the little soft things that the people here had, and left. Here it is! They have been away from here for at least an hour. Before I came out, the old man was gone! The old man said when he was dying, please avenge them!"
Xiao Tianjian's face was as if it was going to rain. He strode into the village and looked up. On the road between several families in the village, there were also small courtyards full of villagers' corpses. No difference between men, women and children, and the whole village was slaughtered.
"Damn it! Who did this?" After seeing this scene, Xiao Tianjian finally couldn't help cursing. In anger, he cut a small tree beside him into two pieces.
After a search, Tietou and others did not find any clues. The people who did this were obviously cruel people. They did not intend to stay alive at all, and they did it very cleanly. After a blow, they immediately fled here. Through careful observation, Xiao Tianjian determined that these people should not be people under his jurisdiction. When these people left, they went to the north of the county. At this time, even if they were chasing, it was too late.
In his jurisdiction, such a tragedy suddenly broke out, which is undoubtedly another blow to the local situation that has just stabilized down. If it cannot be eliminated, it will certainly pose a great threat to the future spring ploughing.
Xiao Tianjian ordered to leave a few people here to collect the bodies of the villagers here. He searched for a period of time with Tietou and others, and there was no more seizures. However, he also found that the territory under their control and the territory controlled by the government did not have obvious boundaries in some places, and there were even some local canine teeth between each other. Staggered, there are several roads that can lead directly to their territory. Outsiders can easily enter their territory through these roads, and go with one blow, cause a disaster, turn around and run out of their control area. The Xing Tianjun either sends troops out to chase them, or they can only take a defensive posture and go out to chase them. Their troops were scattered, and there was no way to start without accurate intelligence support. It was as if they were slapped hard in the face, but they could not see the enemy, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At present, while he wants to divide his troops out to fight for food, he has to leave half of his troops stationed in Lianhuazhai, Shuangfengzhai, Dongye Town and other places. At the same time, he also needs to train and prepare for troops. At present, his troops are already a little overstretched. How to effectively control all intersections and prevent small hostile forces from fleeing to them. If there is trouble within the jurisdiction, it becomes a problem.
While searching for the clues of the enemy who committed such a big case, Xiao Tianjian also had to consider this problem. On the way, he still came up with a way. Before the rural militia was organized, he had to draw some people from the limited number of troops and garrison them. At these intersections, prevent the bandits outside from entering his jurisdiction and making trouble.
This kind of garrison does not need to be much. Each group of 20 people, only five groups are sent, which are limited to three days. They patrol separately in the area of the key roads leading to their jurisdiction, and rotate every three days to be dispatched from the left-behind soldiers of each team. In this way, the local patrol problem can be initially solved.
Once you encounter a small group of bandits, the two generals can deal with it independently. If a large group of bandits with more than 50 people are found, the patrol will temporarily avoid the war, raise the smoke as the number, and summon other nearby patrols to deal with these bandits together. At the same time, it can also play the role of checking passers-by. The first is to coordinate the exiles who enter their territory to make a living and go to the designated resettlement place to receive unified resettlement. The second is to prevent the details of the government and other forces from entering their local area to inquire about the news of their Xing Tianjun.
In this way, the consumption of troops is not much, but it greatly expands the effective control area of the Xingtian Army, and at the same time, it will not affect the normal training and rest of the Xingtian Army.
After thinking about this, he was not in the mood to continue searching, so he rushed back to Lianhuazhai, gathered the left-behind generals, and told them what they thought.
After hearing the Yujia'ao blood case, Yan Chongxi and others were furious. Unexpectedly, there were people who dared to brush their Xing Tianjun's beard under such circumstances. This man was simply ambitious, and they didn't care about Xiao Tianjian's method. In their opinion, as long as someone dared to enter their land. If it causes trouble, then it's better to punch them and beat them completely.
And Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "Although you said it well, we don't know who did it at all now. We are going to send troops to fight and who to fight? What's more, we are very busy here at present, and the existing troops are not suitable for a large-scale attack. At present, our top priority is to seize the division of fields and welcome the arrival of spring ploughing.
It is also a last resort to send a patrol team, which can protect the land division plan from being affected, and at the same time, it can also protect the local people from being affected by spring ploughing. In addition, the patrol team can also guide the drifters who gradually enter our jurisdiction to the resettlement site for resettlement!
Of course, I don't want to let go of those who sneak into our jurisdiction. Li Lingfeng, you have to find a way to find out the way of this group of people who washed Yujiao as soon as possible. In addition, there are surrounding forces hostile to us. This is not a trivial matter. You have to speed up some speed! Once it is found out who did it, then I, Xiao, will never let him go! I will make him pay for his blood!"
After listening to this, the generals had nothing to say. They just felt that this time was really aggrieved. Zhao Erlu suddenly said, "Could it be that Fan Laocai sent someone to revenge on us and deliberately made trouble for us because he didn't save his daughter?"
"Impossible! This will never be done by our shopkeeper!" As soon as Zhao Erlu's words fell, Wang Chengping, who was sitting in his hand, immediately jumped up and said angrily.
It turned out that after Wang Chengping escorted Fan Xi back with Li Lingfeng, he rushed back to Lianhuazhai with Li Lingfeng on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Hearing Zhao Erlu donkey pointing the spearhead of suspicion at Fan Yaoshan, he jumped up.
