Chapter 144 Shock Fengxiang
(I made a mistake yesterday, so I'm embarrassed to ask for red tickets from the big guys today! Alas!)
When Duan Youzhi, the magistrate of Fengxiang, learned the news that Lijiazhuang was broken by the bandits, even if he was shocked, Duan Youzhi did not know the power of the Li family. This time, the Li family repeatedly sent people to Fengxiang Mansion to ask for help him, but why he really had no soldiers at hand. Most of the officers and soldiers left behind by Fengxiangwei were guards. It's unbearable. The last time Ding Baoquan was sent to Liyang was an example.
So when Duan Youzhi was thinking about how to deal with this problem, the news that Li Jiazhuang was broken came over, which made Duan Youzhi even a little panic.
A few days ago, news came from the official that a large number of rebels strayed into the carriage gorge and had been blocked in the carriage gorge by all the officers and soldiers. They could not advance or retreat. Seeing that this time, there was hope that there was a great hope to put out the riot army in one fell swoop. Originally, this had made their Shaanxi officials finally a long sigh of relief.
You should know that once hundreds of thousands of riot troops rush out of Shangluo and enter the hinterland of Shaanxi, it can be called a disaster for the government in all parts of Shaanxi. All parts of Shaanxi have been broken down because of natural and man-made disasters, and there are no way to make a living. The government has no power to calm down, so that the flow The momentum of the people has made it difficult for the government to contain.
A large number of rebels first started in Shaanxi. In the first few years, they were everywhere in Shaanxi, and officials from all over the country were often killed. These scholars finally got a meritorious service. They wanted to become officials and make a fortune. They didn't want to come out and be hacked. The rebels began to attack some large villages at the beginning to attack the county. The city and even the state capital were finally subdued by the officers and soldiers the year before last. A large number of officers and soldiers were driven out of Shaanxi and flowed to Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places. However, this year, they were chased back to Shaanxi by the officials and soldiers. As a result, the government governments all over Shaanxi were so nervous that they were so nervous.
At present, I just saw that there is a possibility that a large group of bandits like Gao Yingxiang will finally be exterminated, but at this time, the gourd is pressed and floated. There is such a big bandit in Yanyang, which is close to Fengxiang's house. If this so-called Xing Tianjun continues to develop, it will become a big trouble sooner or later.
Duan Youzhi can no longer sit still. Naturally, he knows the background of the Li family. As a local official, although his grade is not low, after all, the Li family is a Beijing official. Once he learns that the Li family has been broken by bandits, he will definitely not say good things about him in the capital, so he must solve this matter as soon as possible, which can also be regarded as a loss. A prison move, so as not to end up being held accountable and losing office.
However, Duan Youzhi also has his own difficulties. Now the officers and soldiers from all over Shaanxi have been transferred to the Shangluo area to suppress bandits. His strength is very limited. There are only a small number of Fengxiangwei's officers and soldiers, and some local soldiers in Fengxiang, are unable to mobilizing a large army to suppress bandits in Fenyang.
So after thinking for a while, Duan Youzhi did not dare to delay, so he immediately wrote a report and reported the matter to Chen Qiyu, because he was very clear that Chen Qiyu was now arranging a large number of bandits such as thieves in the area of Shangluo. Chen Qiyu was also the governor of five provinces, in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses in the five provinces, and he was in charge of There is a group of tough generals such as He Renlong who can be used, and He Renlong is stationed in Longzhou at this time. There are thousands of soldiers under his command, which is the closest to Liyang. It is just the right time that he can be transferred to Liyang to suppress the criminal army. Duan Youzhi invited Chen Qiyu and quickly transferred He Renlong to Yanyang to suppress bandits.
This news was quickly sent to Chen Qiyu's camp by the messenger, but this matter did not attract Chen Qiyu's attention. After all, Chen Qiyu is now the governor of the five provinces. He is not familiar with this small Li family in Liyang. Just look. After the Chen newspaper sent by Duan Youzhi, he casually put the Chen newspaper aside.
In Chen Qiyu's view, no matter how big the matter is now, it is not as big as the transformation of the civilian army surrounded in the carriage gorge in front of him. Since he took office at the beginning of the year, it has been more than half a year since he has been chasing these transformation of the civil army. Today, he finally blocked this group of civil forces in the carriage gorge, and finally saw that it can be high. The dawn of the complete extermination of Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and other bandits. How can he be in the mood to pay attention to the small group of bandits far away in Yanyang?
What's more, there are as many small bandits in Shaanxi now. If the officials in various places ask him to send troops to suppress it, I'm afraid he will be too busy even if he has three heads and six arms. In his opinion, it's just a large Zhuangzi to be attacked by a small group of bandits. As long as he eliminates Gao Yingxiang and other bandits as soon as possible, this The small bandits on the ground are not a problem. At that time, they will turn around and deal with them, that is, they will be captured.
Therefore, Chen Qiyu did not pay attention to the Chen newspaper sent by Duan Youzhi, the magistrate of Fengxiang, but just approved it casually, and ordered Duan Youzhi to contact He Renlong to suppress it on the spot.
Duan Youzhi has been waiting for a few days in Fengxiang Mansion. Finally, he is looking forward to Chen Qiyu's reply. He knows that Chen Qiyu probably has no time to take care of this matter, but Chen Qiyu doesn't care, which does not mean that he can also care. He is the magistrate of Fengxiang. Once the situation continues to expand, then he will definitely be to blame. At that time If you are not careful, you may end up with a person who has lost your position. At least Chen Qiyu also gave him a reply, asking him to contact He Renlong in Longzhou to jointly attack and suppress it. Then there is still room for this matter, so he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to He in Longzhou. In the hands of Renlong, He Renlong was invited to send troops out of Longzhou to Yanyang as soon as possible, cooperate with him to suppress the Xing Tianjun, and promised that the food and salary needed for this military use would be borne by Fengxiang Prefecture.
After sending people to leave Fengxiang Mansion, Duan Youzhi also began to be busy and immediately summoned his officials to discuss the mobilization of soldiers and horses to suppress the Xing Tianjun.
Although Fengxiang Mansion is not enough, this matter matters. Duan Youzhi also heard that a large number of people's troops were surrounded by the carriage gorge, so he privately thought that there would be no big problem in Fengxiang Mansion in a short period of time, so he ordered a group of villagers among the large households under the local jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion, and fought from Fengxiang Weidong. A thousand officers and soldiers gathered in the west and raised a batch of grain and salaries to distribute them. A total of nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized and handed over to Fengxiang to guard Yang Luting. On June 30, he left Fengxiang Mansion and drove in the direction of Yanyang.
After receiving Duan Youzhi's handwritten letter, He Renlong directly threw it aside. He didn't bother to take care of this kind of thing. Yanyang was not under his jurisdiction, but now he only has less than 2,000 officers and soldiers. The stationed stationed in Longzhou is already overstretched. How can he transfer troops to Yanyang to suppress bandits!
What's more, as soon as the soldiers and horses move, the food and fodder go first, and there is also money to be distributed. His soldiers have not seen the salary for four months. The emperor is not hungry. Now let him take the soldiers out to suppress the bandits. He can't take out the money. Duan Youzhi said it well. It will be solved by Fengxiang Mansion, but he doesn't believe how much salary Duan Youzhi will give him at all, so it's better for Duan Youzhi to have a headache!
Xing Tianjun didn't stay in Lijiazhuang for long, so he left Lijiazhuang and escorted a large number of materials to Tianlong Village.
What Li Jiazhuang has gained is really too rich. With the transportation capacity of Xing Tianjun, he can't take it at all. Xiao Tianjian is not stingy about these things that can't be taken away. After taking the materials he can be taken away, and the food that can't be taken away is distributed to a large number of exiles rushed by Wenfeng. For a while, he gathered in Lijiazhuang. Four or five thousand people were gathered.
And Xing Tianjun became even more famous. Countless exiles who received food praised Xing Tianjun. When Xing Tianjun left Lijiazhuang, countless exiles knelt on both sides of the road and kowtowed to thank him, which made the officers and soldiers of Xing Tianjun very proud. They held their heads high and were majestic and energetic. When I got up, it was more than enough.
Fu Deming also admires Xiao Tianjian's generous behavior of distributing the food of the Li family. In such a troubled world, once many poles get the grain and money, they are reluctant to share it with these people, while Xiao Tianjian waved thousands of stones of grain and was scattered by him. This kind of behavior In the eyes of some people, it is undoubtedly a bit of a prodigal style.
But Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "Since we can't eat these things and take them away, what's the use of staying? Is it possible that we will live in Lijiazhuang and leave after we are empty? These things are all things outside the body. It's better to leave these people to let them live longer!"
This time, Xing Tianjun also took the opportunity to recruit a group of new recruits among the exiles. Due to the large base of exiles, the quality of the recruits recruited is quite good, and Xiao Tianjian insists on the elite soldier route. He does not want the old and the weak. The limited number of recruits is only 500, so the newly recruited 500 new recruits. The soldiers are all strong men, and the vast majority of them are honest peasants. Among them, there are also a small number of officers and soldiers deserters, which greatly supplements their lost strength this time, and expands the strength of the Xingtian Army's soldiers and new recruits to more than 1,300, and the number of soldiers is also expanded to 400. Left and right.
By the way, Xiao Tianjian also sheltered dozens of various craftsmen among this group of people, and also brought them back to Tianlong Village with the army. Among this group of craftsmen, there are not only blacksmiths, carpenters and cobblers and other craftsmen, which is his current shortage of manpower.
After the inventory, this time they not only captured tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold from Lijiazhuang, but also seized nearly 5,000 stones of grain. In addition to distributing a batch of grain to the exiles, they also loaded nearly 2,000 stones of grain, which was enough for them to maintain for a considerable period of time. In addition, they also seized all kinds of armor. There are dozens of pairs of knives, guns, balanium, hook guns, knives and sticks, and axes, which greatly improves the current situation of the shortage of weapons of the Xingtian Army.
Of course, the most harvest is not only these things. After they captured Lijiazhuang, they also captured five tiger squatting cannons at the same time. What's ridiculous is that they even captured two bowls cast during the old Hongwu period. This kind of old thing actually doesn't know where the Li family came from. The simple ones can really be sent to the museum for exhibition, but it is undeniable that this thing is still very useful for Shouyu. For Xing Tianjun, who lacks artillery, although this thing is broken, it is still in their pocket.
In addition to artillery, they also captured seven guns, thirty-seven bird guns, thirty-one old-fashioned fire guns, eighteen three-eyed guns, and hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder. These are the materials that Xiao Tianjian urgently needed, which greatly enriched the strength of the Xing Tianjun. It can be seen that how much money the Li family secretly spent to save their lives. I got so many good things, and now they are cheap to Xiao Tianjian.
As for other materials, there are many things that Xiao Tianjian urgently needs. In the warehouse of the Li family, they also copied two or three thousand catties of raw iron, and also copied a considerable amount of various copper and iron from the home of the Li family. Naturally, Xiao Tianjian will not discard these things. He loaded them into the car and transported them all. In Huitianlongzhai, it is used to create more weapons.
In a word, although Xing Tianjun paid the price of nearly a hundred lives on this trip to Lijiazhuang, the harvest was also beyond everyone's expectation. It can be said that the money was full, and everyone was satisfied.
