Chapter 38 Expanding the results

The news of Yongning's emergency was soon sent to Luoyang City. After the magistrate Feng Yijun heard this, even if he was shocked, the aftermath of the matter in Mianchi County was still calmed down. Now the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army have been killed and rushed to Yongning County. Although Yongning County is not an important place, there is a Wan'an Wang Zhu there. Cai, at least he is one of the kings of the royal family. Once he loses it, even if his magistrate is at the end, with today's holy temper, he may end up in an abandoned city.

So he did not dare to neglect at all. He quickly invited the general Wang Shaoyu to the house and told Wang Shaoyu that the Xingtian army was besieged Yongning County. Wang Shaoyu was also shocked after hearing this. He was also a headache for Xing Tian's army's transfer to Henan.

Xing Tianjun went south to Henan to make trouble. The first one was Henan Prefecture. This area was the area he was responsible for. Mianchi County was lost. At least Xing Tianjun took the initiative to give up, so that he could easily recover Mianchi County. Even if this matter was reported to the capital, it could at least be fooled.

However, once Yongning County was captured by Xing Tianjun, Zhu Cai was killed, and he could not bear the responsibility. Therefore, after listening to Feng Yijun's words, he did not dare to neglect for a moment, so he quickly went back and began to dispatch troops.

At present, he does not have many troops in Luoyang. In addition to leaving enough soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang, he can use only about 4,000 to 5,000 troops. This time, the Xingtian Army entered Henan, with more than 5,000 troops. Although others do not know much about the Xingtian Army, he is the main general who guards Henan Province. However, he had to pay attention to the situation in Shanxi. He has a deeper understanding of Xing Tianjun than ordinary officials in Henan.

Other people don't know the strength of Xing Tianjun, which doesn't mean that he doesn't know the strength of Xing Tianjun. Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei are all resounding figures among the current officers and soldiers. However, these four people jointly sent troops to Yangcheng. In the end, except for He Renlong, he retreated completely. Almost all three of them returned, and Hu Dawei almost died at the hands of Xing Tianjun.

Now that Xing Tianjun has sent troops to Henan, it is undoubtedly a huge bad news for him, the general who is responsible for guarding the Henan government. At present, Lu Xiangsheng has taken his Tianxiong army north to Xuanda. Henan is the time when his military strength is incomplete. With his military strength alone, it is not Xingtian at all. The opponent of the army.

So while he was busy dispatching troops to Yongning County for rescue, he quickly discussed with Feng Yijun and sent people to Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, who was in Kaifeng, for reinforcements.

However, Wang Shaoyu encountered resistance among his generals in the matter of dispatching troops to Yongning County for rescue. He originally wanted to send his general Zhang Tong to lead his troops, but after Zhang Tongwen's order, he simply came to take care of the disease and refused to lead the army to fight.

Wang Shaoyu is very greedy for money. He has always been used to withholding military pay. He often allocates military pay to him. He first has to deduct eight of them in his pocket, and the remaining 20% has to be given to his family, and the rest is distributed to the soldiers.

Therefore, Wang Shaoyu has a nickname in the army, called Wang Bacheng. Some officers and soldiers simply save this word and directly call him Wang Ba. These officers and soldiers who have been stripped under him all year round have long complained that it is still difficult to defend a city, but let them fight, but Few people are willing to do it.

Wang Shaoyu's failure to transfer troops, Feng Yijun urged him again. He had no choice but to put on the battle in person and clicked out 4,000 soldiers and horses in the barracks outside Luoyang City. He was so painful that he took out 10,000 taels of silver from his pocket and distributed them. At least he finally let these soldiers agree to go out with him. Soldier.

But such a delay, that is, in three days, when he just left Luoyang City and before he went to Yiyang County, Yongning County escaped a small number of officers and soldiers and rushed all the way to Yiyang County, bringing the news of the fall of Yongning to Wang Shaoyu.

Wang Shaoyu was shocked after hearing this. After he arrived in Yiyang County, he no longer dared to advance towards Yongning County, but simply put on a defensive posture in Yiyang County, intending to guard Yiyang so that Xing Tianjun could not threaten Luoyang City.

In addition, Wang Shaoyu was not stupid. Knowing that Yongning was lost, the court must be held accountable, so he immediately sent someone home, took the money and quickly went up and down to make some points. He also sent someone to find King Fu and sent 10,000 taels of silver to King Fu. He said that Yongning lost the responsibility of Yongning County's garrison and the county magistrate Wu Dalie. They basically He can't be blamed for not giving Wang Shaoyu time to lead the rescue.

After taking down Yongning County, Xiao Tianjian was not idle. In order to gain a foothold and expand the results as soon as possible, he sent people to monitor the movements of the surrounding officers and troops that may be suppressed. On the other hand, he dispatched a sentry from the second and third battalions to form a temporary Yongning County garrison, which is responsible for guarding Yongning County. , to maintain the order in the county, and after the second battalion and the third battalion took a short break, the soldiers were replenished in the barracks with the army. As for the barracks, some of the strong men who were willing to follow the Xingtian army were selected from the officers and the prisoners of the valley, and the missing soldiers were supplemented as temporary recruits. After practicing it, he began to sweep all the imperial villages in Yongning County and the castles of the local gentry.

Now for Luo Li and his group, such a thing as fighting Zhuangbao has long been a familiar road. In addition, the Xing Tianjun's strong firepower, dealing with such a Zhuangbao is simply a matter of being captured. Even if individual Zhuangbao with fierce resistance encounters, under the help of the engineering battalion, the method of digging and blasting the ground is adopted. It will be taken down soon.

When the Xingtian army's battalions do these things, they also reduce the damage to the local ordinary people as much as possible. Often, every time they break through a village, they take out part of the food from the village according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, and provide relief to the nearby refugees and ordinary people.

In this way, in just a few days, Xing Tianjun opened up the situation around Yongning County. After learning about the benevolence and righteousness of Xing Tianjun, they gathered one after another. Although they could not help Xing Tianjun attack Zhuangbao, they were willing to follow Xing Tianjun to help carry some supplies in exchange for a meal.

What worried Xiao Tianjian did not happen. After learning the news of the fall of Yongning County, the officers and soldiers in the direction of Luoyang were actually stuck in Yiyang County, which gave him more time to control Yongning County.

And after crossing the Yang River, Yidou Valley fled back to Dafang Mountain with the remnants. Maybe he was really afraid by Liu Yao. After escaping into Dafang Mountain, the man defended several key entrances of Dafang Mountain and did not dare to show up again, but this beam was completely knotted, just the next step of Yidou Valley. Xiao Tianjian has not found out how to retaliate for the time being, but in order to prevent the revenge of Yidou Valley, he still let Liu Yaoben's teaching camp station in the area of the Duyang River, sweeping the local Zhuangbao and monitoring the movement of Yidou Valley.

The officials in charge of civil affairs led by Luo Yingjie were not idle. In Yongning City, they restored the order in the county at a very fast speed. All kinds of shops were not harmed. Under the order of Xing Tianjun, they also opened their business again under the order of Xing Tianjun. At the same time, when Luo Yingjie was sitting in the county seat, from the county government office. Among them, the root of the land deed in Yongning County was copied out, and a fire was burned in public outside the county government, so that the land deed in the hands of those local riches in the county became a piece of waste paper even if they were kept.

With the expansion of Xing Tianjun's actions, the Zhuangzi of several famous land owners in Yongning County fell under the front of Xing Tianjun's soldiers one after another, and the division of fields immediately started in Yongning County.

After having experience in Shanxi, it is much easier for Xing Tianjun to divide the land in Yongning County. The officials in charge of civil affairs under Luo Yingjie quickly began to go to the countryside, recruit a group of helpers on the local spot, measure the land, and issue an announcement. Household registration and other affairs soon spread out in Yongning County.

Yongning County, which was originally bleak, began to get lively. Even some of the surrounding people quickly learned the news. They rushed into Yongning County one after another, registered their household registrations in various townships, and waited for Xing Tianjun to distribute the fields.

As for the people's desire for land, there is no need to elaborate here. If there is the most serious place for land annexation in this era, then Henan can definitely win the first place. According to incomplete statistics, nearly half of Henan's land has fallen into the hands of the imperial relatives and some officials and gentry. Among them, the vast majority of ordinary people can only act as tenants for these rich families.

However, Xing Tianjun acted differently from other volunteers. As soon as he entered Yongning, he made a long-term posture. After re-measured the arable fields in the county, he began to gradually distribute the landless people with the number of ten mu of land per household. Such a measure is almost a double measure for the common people. With both hands and feet in favor, the poor people in Yongning immediately defected to the Xing Tianjun without saying a word after learning the news.

A bucket of valley in Dafang Mountain hated Xing Tianjun so much that he gritted his teeth and crossed the Yanghe River. He didn't expect that more than 700 members of Xing Tianjun really dared to fire at the 7,000 troops under his command. He didn't expect that Xing Tianjun's firearms were so fierce that he was only shot down by him. The more than 300 archers regarded as treasures were swept away by the Xing Tianjun, and another round of guns came. In the crossing of the Yang River, his men floated with corpses. The whole crossing the ocean river was almost stained red by the blood of his men, and the bodies of his men who were killed almost blocked the river crossing the Yang River.

Under such a stingling blow by Xing Tianjun, his rabbles had the opportunity to collapse on the spot, and they fled in all places.

Although Yidougu also knew that he didn't have many elite soldiers, he didn't expect that he would lose so badly. Ten times the situation of Xing Tianjun, he would be killed so badly. What's more abominable is that he found that the team led by the other side were actually some 17- or 18-year-year-old children.

It's not enough for this group of descendants of Xing Tianjun to kill so many people under him, and they chased him across the river when he began to retreat. It was even worse to kill his already lax military heart. If he hadn't been used to keeping a hand and run fast, this battle would have been a little worse. The members of the Xing Tianjun, who were less than a thousand people, were arrested alive.

When he fled all the way back to Dafang Mountain with the defeated soldiers, he knew that this time he led his troops out. Not to mention that more than 7,000 people who took out, less than half of them came back. Only more than 3,000 of his men followed him back to Dafang Mountain. The rest were either killed or given by Xing Tianjun. He was captured alive.

So that he could only send people to guard the mountain pass, and no longer dared to go down the mountain to find the trouble of Xing Tianjun.
