Chapter 738 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey! The robber who invaded the home
Xiao Tang never expected that one day he would be called a "mentor", but the scene when Wang Huan taught him how to use his gun and stick was still vivid in his mind. There are outstanding heroes from generation to generation. They first received the favor of their predecessors and then taught them.
For future generations of generals, Xiao Tang is naturally very happy to do his part.
Now the military is very important, so a few days ago, her little follower Qiong Ying and her mother Song Zhenniang were under the care of Ye Qing and had to stay in Tongtian County of Wei Sheng Army. Now, Xiao Tang has appeared in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Li Shifu was favored. Not only Xiao Tang, but also Xiao Jiasui, Shi Xiu, Niu Gao and others saw that although Li Shifu was only a young man, his words and deeds were capable and decisive, and they were all willing to help him improve his martial arts skills.
, everyone present also has a lot of experience in battle. Li Shifu, who is willing to study hard and practice hard, will naturally benefit a lot from the guidance of Xiao Tang and others.
In the following days, Li Shifu obtained Xiao Tang's approval and could often enter and leave the residence arranged for Xiao Tang by Magistrate Yang in Taiyuan Prefecture. Li Shifu's father, Li Yongqi, settled the refugees who suffered from banditry in Daizhou and other areas north of Hedong Road, and also communicated with
Wang Jin, who was ordered by Xiao Tang to select and train the new army in Taiyuan, also selected brave men who were willing to join the army. When Wang Jin reported to Xiao Tang the progress of selecting and supervising the new army, his first sentence was
Then he said: "For someone like Li Yongqi, just teaching him to be the head of the cavalry army in the Taiyuan government office is really overkill."
At this point, Li Yongqi was appointed as an officer, general and military officer in the New Army, and it was already confirmed that he would serve as his subordinate and confidant during Xiaotang's time in Fuhedong.
It is necessary to select new brave men here and expand the establishment of the New Army. It is also necessary to teach the families of these young and strong people who are willing to join the army to live happily and not worry about having enough food and clothing.
Jun Jian feels a sense of belonging to this army.
The products and reserves of Taiyuan Prefecture's warehouses are richer than those of Tongtian County. Magistrate Yang also understands the principle of obeying power urgently. He not only opened warehouses to help the people in distress, but also personally went to the wealthy Yuan Waifu of Taiyuan Prefecture to see the situation.
He persuaded them to help settle the refugees. Not only that, Yang Zhifu also handed over all the more than 300 remaining horses in the Taiyuan Prefecture Command Department to Xiao Tang, which was enough to equip one of the new army's troops.
The cavalry army of the camp.
Another person who helped greatly with various matters in Xiaotang Town and Fuhedong was Zhao Yuanwai, who was born in Yanmen County, Daizhou.
According to the news coming from the north, although the thieves from Hedong will soon break through Yanmen County, their mansion and farmland may all fall into the hands of the thieves. However, Zhao Yuanwai was also prepared in advance, and he took all the gold
The bankers paid all the money, silk, jade, cooked food and other portable wealth to the more than 30 Taiping cars, and then they left their homes with Jin Cuilian, Jin Laozhang and other family members, and fled to Taiyuan Prefecture along with a large number of people.
Come on. Outside the city of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhao Yuanwai has several land titles, which are enough to support his family. He is also very open-minded. Whether it is Xiao Tang sending troops to suppress bandits, or in Taiyuan Prefecture to appease the refugees and select new troops, Zhao Yuanwai also
I am willing to donate all my belongings to support Xiaotang's daily expenses when he is in Fuhedong.
Of course, Zhao Yuanwai was just a wealthy local man named Tao Bai, and he was not a living Bodhisattva who wanted to save people in need and help all living beings. However, as a daughter-in-law, she was deeply loved by Lu Zhishen, Xiao Tang's sworn brother, and her whole family's lives were now at risk.
It can be said that he was rescued by Xiao Tang. At this time, he helped Xiao Tang, which was a favor to Xiao Tang;
Secondly, Zhao Yuan also knows that if you have money, you should spend it wisely. Compared with prosperous places such as Xiaojiaji, Zengtou City, and the shops around Banqiao Town, he can now be said to be extremely wealthy.
Xiao Tang, his own family property is probably only a drop in the bucket. Now that he is helping so much, how can Xiao Tang treat him badly?
Thirdly, if Xiao Tang cannot put down the thieves and party tribes who are raging on Hedong Road as soon as possible, let alone the gold and silver in the land, I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will be lost in the hands of thieves who come to kill them at any time, and now is not the time.
It’s a time when money has to be compared and gains and losses are calculated.
Therefore, whether it is to appease the people or select and train new troops, Xiao Tang now has no worries about money and food expenses as he did when he was acting in Tongtian County, Weisheng Army. Since there is no need to worry about other things, it is also time to
It’s time to take action against the thieves and bandits who are looting and causing chaos in surrounding counties and towns.
"According to reports from the people who escaped from the north, a Qiang tribe broke through Baijing Village and invaded Yangqu County. There was also a bandit army from the northeast that occupied Yangxing Village. Judging from their intentions, they must have joined forces with the Qiang people.
We must work together to break Yangqu City."
In the hall of Taiyuan Mansion, Li Yongqi was reporting to Xiao Tang and others about the movements of the Party tribes and the Hedong thieves. Hu Yanzhuo, one of the generals, couldn't help snorting when he heard this and said: "That guy Tian Hu has gathered the thugs and the evil party is tired.
He committed a great evil. He robbed the city and robbed the warehouses, which is already an unforgivable crime! Now he openly colludes with the Xia thieves to enter the country and harm the people of the Song Dynasty. Even if he dies, he will not be able to atone for the heinous crime committed by that dog thief!"
"Now that Tian Hu has made all the stops, he doesn't care if he commits such evil deeds. He is just afraid that he will be scolded by the leaders of other realms who at least consider themselves Song people in the Green Forest Road... Then this guy
Not only do we plan to incite some party tribes to do evil, but now that the Song and Xia countries are at war with each other, I am afraid that Tian Hu has already been preparing to defect to a foreign country."
After all, Xiao Jiasui was more thoughtful. He not only considered Tian Hu's plan, but also planned the overall situation based on the current situation. He also said: "Even if the Xia Kingdom is worried about us, the Song Dynasty will defeat its army in Hengshan, Pingxia and other places."
, but Tian Hu gathered thieves from all walks of life to cause trouble on the Hedong Road, and the internal worries of the Song Dynasty were not settled. I am afraid that the Xia State officials also knew that the situation was changing, and they could take advantage of the instability in the rear of the side court to contain the movements of the Song army on the border.
Therefore, once information is exchanged with Tian Hu, even if the Xia Kingdom only dares to support Tian Hu secretly, it will be quite difficult if the enemy officials continue to incite and build momentum for banditry in Hedong."
Sitting firmly at the head, Xiao Tang listened to what Hu Yanzhuo, Xiao Jiasui and others were saying. He pondered for a moment and then asked Li Yongqi: "General Li, do you know how many Qiang people occupy Baijing Village in the north?"
After Li Yongqi heard this, he immediately replied to Xiao Tang: "The good teaching commander knows that the Qiang tribe occupying Baijing Village seems to be just a small tribe with meager manpower among the tribes of the incoming bandits.
Jingzhai only had about a hundred Xiang troops under the Inspection Department, guarded by local warriors who were not as skilled as the Qiang people in bow and horse, so it was easily broken. Although my brother... intended to lead troops to help, he was guarding Taiyuan after all.
The number of officers and soldiers in the government was low, and my brother happened to hear that a large number of people were intercepted and killed by the rebels and party members, so he had to lead a battalion of troops to rescue... Xiao Jieshuai naturally knew what happened next.
."
Xiao Tang nodded, thinking in his mind that the Baijing Village should be like the Qingfeng Village in Qingzhou where the Hua Rong brothers and sisters lived when he and Hua Rong first met.
The villages are just small villages assigned by the inspection departments of various places and stationed in important places in the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the state. Even if there are a few leaders in the green forest and hundreds of thieves commanding them, it is very possible for them to break the village.
Not to mention those Dangxiang people who are skilled in bows and horses and tough by nature.
"For the time being, let's not care about what Xia's plan is, and whether Tian Hu has received assistance from the Xia government. Since there are robbers who have broken into the house, and they are still committing crimes even under our eyes, what should our soldiers do?
Of?"
Xiao Tang stood up slowly. He had already made up his mind. Of course he was not an extreme nationalist. On the contrary, Xiao Tang used his own national superiority as a fig leaf to cover up Canadian national chauvinism and clamored all day long.
They hate those who destroy national unity through division, but make no contribution to their own nation and country. But the current situation is different. No matter what the origin of the other party is, of course, you can't just treat a group of bandits who come to your door with a knife.
Educate them with the royal principles of benevolence and righteousness.
If he really stayed on his own terms and was only willing to trade with the Song people for the Dangxiang people he needed for life, Xiao Tang would be willing to safeguard the rights and interests of those people. But if the other party decided to pick up the butcher's knife and invade his homeland regardless of their origin, then that would be
All we can do is see whose butcher knife is faster and sharper!
