Two-five-two big war fortune
The Haifeng County Government Office has changed its owner at this time.
The guards were still so tight, but they were all replaced by Ming army infantry wearing cotton armor or green clothes. In the back garden, each whistle was whistle, and every five steps was stupid. The soldiers holding spears or five Thunder machines stood upright.
A crisp laugh like a silver bell came, and two women walked out of the forest, both wearing emerald green clothes, and the sun shone through the branches and leaves, scattering on them, with spots of light, like elves in the forest.
Last night, there was a cold autumn rain. The last few yellow leaves on the branches were blown away by the rain and wind. It fell all over the ground, with bare branches and a cold wind whistling. In November, the northern part of the country was already a bit cold in winter. However, the appearance of these two women added a bit of warmth to the place.
The mature and charming woman in front was holding a red lacquer food box in her hand, while the woman behind was holding a stack of documents in her hand.
This is now the residence of Lian Zining, President of the Wuyi Army.
It has been more than twenty days since the sniper battle outside Jingxing Pass.
Whether nominally or in fact, this is the last battle for the army to quell the white-robed bandits.
On that day, Kang Lu and Tang Yidao led Zhang Yanchang's personal troops to fight bravely, completely tearing the Baibo Army's array apart... Then the vanguards of the palace army and the four guards, a total of 3,500 cavalry troops, were pressed down on them, and penetrated them straight from the middle, which even put a final blow to the destined defeat of the Baibo Army!
At this time, the Baibou Army, escorted by a thousand elite troops, crossed the river in the shallow part of the Taiping River. At this time, the Baibou Army was fighting desperately with the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers could not catch up with them... they could only watch them cross the river with their horses in their arms.
This result not only surprised Lian Zining, but also shocked all the white-robed soldiers fighting!
No one expected that at this time, the commander would escape! Even Zining was surprised, but a hint of admiration arose in his heart. There was no doubt that at this moment... taking advantage of the situation where most of the officers and soldiers were entangled by the white-robed army, leading the crowd to escape was the best choice, and this was also the most favorable opportunity to escape. Zhang Geng and Qi Jiguang had such a sharp vision, such a decisive work, and such a fierce heart... They really did the saying that Ci Wu was in charge of the soldiers. If they put those famous heroes in history in this situation, they would definitely make such a choice, and what if they were themselves?
Lian Zining thought about it and felt a chill in his heart.
But there is no doubt that the last bit of fighting spirit of the White-robed Army was also destroyed.
The white-robed army collapsed, and the soldiers no longer had the will to fight. Not only the new recruits, but even the veterans who had fought several battles fled one after another. The officers and soldiers chased and attacked from behind... easily killed the deserters... and more, they simply knelt on the ground and surrendered.
This battle lasted for a whole morning and did not end until Shen Shi... ended with a refreshing victory between the officers and soldiers!
Thirteen thousand white-robed soldiers died in battle, and more than 4,700 elite troops fled, while the remaining more than 7,000 surrendered.
This battle completely destroyed the last trace of vitality of the White Rou Army, destroying the combat power of the White Rou Army, and almost completely annihilated victory was rare in previous wars.
At this point, the Baibo Army, which started in Yangxin, Shandong, traversed north of Shandong, galloped thousands of miles, causing chaos in the north. The capital was completely defeated in front of Jingxing Pass.
At this point, the White Robe Rebellion was completely quelled.
Zhang Geng's troops who crossed the river met with the White Lotus Sects of Jingxing Pass and quietly withdrew. When the iron chain bridge was finally repaired, Lian Zining and others entered Jingxing Pass, they only found 300 slaughtered Ming soldiers in the city of Guan.
When he led his army to escort the prisoners back to the camp, Zhang Yanchang, who had already received the news, came out ten miles away, showing his great respect for him.
Then there is no need to mention a series of redundant matters. The memorial request for pensions was sent to the capital one by one, and the battle report was also written in a bunch of flowers and flowers, spreading all the way from Ningjin County to Beijing. Now, the entire northern region has known the news that the white-robed army was eliminated.
But strangely, the court's reaction this time was very slow. Twenty days have passed. Not only has the reward not been received, but even the herdsmen from the counties that were harmed by the White Robe Army were not sent down. In the end, a decree was passed from the palace, asking Zhang Yanchang to temporarily act as the governor of the six counties, appease the people, maintain public order, and suppress bandits.
After this decree was released, Zhang Yanchang and the generals suddenly realized it.
This kind of practice is not uncommon for the state dynasty. After suppressing the uprising in a certain place, most of the local herders and officials were killed, and they would basically be in a vacuum of rule. At this time, there would be a period of so-called "military control" military control period, which actually gave these soldiers who had made contributions to counter the rebellion a chance to accumulate money and collect benefits. In any case, no matter what the name is used for, one thing must be done - to accumulate money and food. Therefore, after the war, the amount of money, food and grass left behind must be very large. If you can do it, you can naturally make a fortune.
This kind of command is a bit of a reward.
Zhang Yanchang divided the armies into each county and reaped benefits, including Pingshan Guard, Shenwu Right Guard, Shenyang Zhongtun Guard, Datong Zhongtun Guard, and the front guard of the Prefecture Army and Wuyi Army, which happened to be stationed in the six counties that were harmed.
Among the six counties, Haifeng County was occupied the latest and was exploited relatively lightly. Moreover, as the last garrison of the White-Board Army, it must be the most abundant. Because Wu Yi's army made the most contributions, he was sent to Haifeng County, and everyone had nothing to say.
After the army arrived at the garrison, they immediately began to make money. Some were more sensible, like Chen Dakang, who only accepted the property and ownerless industries of the White Robe Army, and did not disturb the people. Some did it too much... When they found out which family was richer, they would collect charges, and they always required that they lose money and avoid disasters.
With everyone like this, Lian Zining naturally cannot pretend to be noble and annoying. In the officialdom, being in harmony with the light is the way to survive.
Haifeng County is indeed full of oil and water, which is not false at all... Since Zining stationed in, the Wuyi army has scattered to various villages in units of hundreds of households to appease the people, maintain public order, promote the education of the court, and also collect the remaining property of the Baipao Army.
After sorting it out, Lian Zining was also quite surprised.
Shandong has always produced gold... It is known as the Tianfu of Zhaoyuan Xijincheng. It has mined gold mines on a large scale since the Tang Dynasty. The goldware found this time has reached a weight of 1,000 kilograms. If it is melted and cast, it will be nearly 20,000 taels of gold. Of course... these goldware is quite exquisite, so Lian Zining naturally would not do such stupid things. He just ordered to treasure it and prepare to sell it after returning to the capital, so that it would be more.
The remaining bronze ware is also very numerous, and the value is even more incalculable. Among them, there is even a bronze Buddha more than ten feet high, weighing thousands of pounds. It is said that it was collected by the White-robed Army after it destroyed a temple and eight copper pieces. The copper pillars with gold and silver painted on it were something passed down during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty, and it was even more expensive.
These gold, silver and bronze ware are quite large and difficult to carry, so the white-robed army stayed. Of course, they were not stupid. They packed all these things in boxes and buried them in the dry well of a wealthy family in the city, preparing to get them back if they had the chance in the future. However, they did not expect that the soldiers of the Wuyi Army mobilized the masses to find them, and all of them were cheaper Lian Zining.
In addition to these real precious metals, there are also 50,000 pieces of coarse cloth, 8,000 stones of grain, as well as a large amount of hay, soybeans, eggs, and other things for war horses to eat.
But the biggest gain is not the above things, but the land!
The white-robed army massacred landlords and wealthy businessmen and confiscated their land. Except for a small part of them, most of the others were taken into their own pockets. Almost all the owners of these lands were killed by their families. As expected, these lands became Lian Zining's si-produced. Such lands are as many as 100,000 mu! Moreover, in northern Shandong, there are abundant water and grass and rivers, and these lands are all good irrigated land. Even if the drought this year has severely affected it, it has almost no impact. Lian Zining suddenly entered the ranks of top landlords.
In the bamboo forest monastery, Wang Dachun is reporting.
"In this war, the food, supplies, ammunition, and food and wages consumed in total were 30,000 taels. In the two wars, 347 brothers were killed in battle. Each of these brothers had pensions of 10 taels of silver and 50 acres of land. Moreover, these brothers were all first-class winners of the Medal of Loyalty and Brave. This year, they would pay their families, each household had 10 taels of silver and 5 s of rice. There were 71 brothers who were seriously injured and disabled, most of whom chose to stay in the army and were willing to go to the Farm of the Fighting Army to raise them. There were eleven people. Each of these eleven people would grant 50 acres of land, 20 taels of silver, and a house. These seventy one brothers were awarded 5 taels of silver and 5 s of rice this year. More than 300 people who received the Medal of Loyalty and Brave, and each person would also receive a reward of 5 taels of silver."
Wang Dachun smashed it, smashed it, and said, "All the money is calculated, and a total of 100,000 taels of silver is counted!"
"So much?" Lian Zining frowned, but he also knew that what Wang Dachun said was the truth. After all the calculations, he understood clearly.
Wang Dachun nodded bitterly and opened his mouth. After all, he did not dare to give any advice on whether he wanted to reduce the pension. He knew very well that Lian Zining had always been kind to his brothers. How could he agree to reduce the pension if he was a brother? I was afraid that he would be scolded even if he said it. It would be better not to make fun of himself.
"How much money does our army have?"
"There are a little more than 20,000."
"Distribute them all!" Lian Zining thought for a while and said, "After returning to the capital, you can still get at least 30,000 taels of silver to replenish it. Well, now you send someone to Jinan Prefecture, Linqingzhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou and other places to contact local wealthy businessmen and giants, and just say that we have a large piece of good irrigated land to sell, and see if they buy it?"
"Qingzhou Laizhou has many short hills and hills, and there are many saline-alkali land. Jinan Prefecture is surrounded by mountains and there are not many fertile land. They will probably buy the good land we have. But…………………” Wang Dachun blinked: "If this is the case, those jiāns will definitely lower the price. Wouldn't we lose?"
Lian Zining laughed and said, "We won't live here for a long time. Even if these lands are used, they will be useless. If they are abandoned and cannot be sold at a price, wouldn't they have to pay? It's a little lower, and it's nothing. We want cash. By the way, pay more attention to the salt merchants in Qingdenglai. They are all from selling si salt. When they have money, they want to buy land and buy property. They settle down and become rich. These people have money, and they are also urgent and can pay a big price!"
"Yes, sir, I know." Wang Dachun responded respectfully.
Lian Zining rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "A cannon fire, there will be ten thousand taels of gold! Fortunately, I have seized a lot this time, otherwise I would be in a difficult situation."
Even Zining had a strong financial resources, and Wu Yi's soldiers were not many. He usually had a lot of spare energy to support the entire Wu Yi's army with his own strength, but he could not hold on to this battle immediately. He asked for money to start the battle, rewards to get money, the brothers who died in battle wanted to settle the family's money, and the injured had to support him. If the seizure of the White Robe Bureau had solved his urgent needs, he would have really moved the funds of the chaebol.
Lian Zining also knew in his heart that the various pension policies he had formulated were really rich and incredible in this era.
But Lian Zining will not change, because he knows better than anyone else why the Wuyi Army has such powerful combat power! Only when the commander sells his heart to the soldiers will the soldiers sell their lives to you!
At this time, a gentle knock on the door came, and a soft voice said, "Master, it's time for lunch."
When Wang Dachun heard this, he told him to leave. Lian Zining waved his hand and said, "Old Wang, you will be busy in the future. After finishing the business here, you will also need to do the matter of returning to the capital to build a Farm of the Fighting Army and buying land and building a house!"
When Wang Dachun heard this, his eyes shone. He knew that this was his efforts over the past period and was seen by the adults, so he valued himself even more. He quickly responded.
Wang Dachun opened the door and saw two women wearing green clothes outside. It was Sister Kang. "I have met Lord Wang!" Sister Kang Su had a good impression of this Lord Wang who was "mostly shameful to others," and quickly bent down to salute.
"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it!" Wang Dachun couldn't stop smiling and kept wavering: "The two girls are the ones around the adults. You can't salute us officials in the future, so you can't give us the best!"
He solemnly returned the courtesy and left.
Lian Zining smiled and shook his head, this guy.
"I've met the master." The two women had a little blessing.
Lian Zining smiled and said, "I have said it many times, our family doesn't have so many rules."
Kang Su smiled and said, "Master, you are not particular, but others see it. I can't embarrass you."
The two women came in, covered the door, Kang Ling stepped forward, put the stack of documents in his hand on Lian Zining's desk, and said, "Master, this is the documents for county affairs yesterday, and they are all here.
"Um!" Lian Zining responded, and as soon as he was looking through the documents, the documents were pressed by a slender hand. He looked up and saw Kang Ling's smiling face: "Master, I have been talking about things all morning. If I continue like this, I can't stand it. I'd better have a meal first!"
A pair of clear big eyes were full of concern. Lian Zining laughed and stood up: "Okay, just listen to Ling'er, have a meal first!"!
