The first thousand four hundred and eighty chapters behind the enemy base and Fan Yang Tongyuan
There is a hill between Xiaohezhai and Xiaohezhai. The mountain is not high, only more than ten feet. However, it lies between Xiaohezhai and Xiaohezhai. It takes a lot of time to avoid this mountain when going from Xiaohe Town to Xiaohezhai.
You can enter Xiaohe Village only by bypassing the Qibali Mountain Road.
There is a large temple on the top of the mountain. Li Xuanba relied on the temple to control the small hilltop and blocked the path from Xiaohe Town to Xiaohe Village.
There were quite a few defenders in Xiaohe Town. Thousands of troops first came out in an attempt to recapture the top of the hill. However, they were easily defeated by the soldiers from the Bao Xiong Battalion led by Li Xuanba, so they guarded the town and did not dare to come out.
After about half an hour, Li Xuanba stood firm on the hilltop, relying on the temple, when the Wagang Army from the direction of Xiaohezhai arrived belatedly, with more than 3,000 people.
Li Xuanba relied on the terrain on the top of the hill and mainly used foot and bow formations to shoot. Finally, he led his men to charge and kill them in person, killing more than 3,000 people back.
At this time, Li Jing led the main force of the Baoxiong Battalion to Xiaohe Town under the nose of Xiaohe Village.
Seeing more and more Far Eastern Army troops entering Xiaohe Town, the defenders in Xiaohe Town completely gave up their intention to attack Li Xuanba on the hilltop with the Wagang Army in Xiaohe Village.
Then, Li Xuanba slowly began to attack Xiaohe Village.
In less than half a stick of incense, Xiaohezhai could no longer hold on. After nearly half of the 5,000 elite Wagang troops were killed or injured, they abandoned hundreds of wounded soldiers and hurriedly fled into the mountains and forests on the other side. Li Xuanba originally wanted to pursue them.
He went up and was dissuaded by Li Jing.
Li Xuanba was fond of war. If he was left to his own devices, the next step would definitely be to forcefully invade Xiaohe Town with superior force and then go on a killing spree. However, in the battle plan, after forming an encirclement of Xiaohe Town, priority should be given to
Persuade to surrender.
In fact, as for the terrain in the Wagangzhai area, there was an almost identical model in the Fanyang County combat conference hall as early as half a year ago. Wang Junlin led the generals to conduct deductions and formulate a large strategic plan. Because of this, Xiaohe Town
The importance of the strategic location will play an extremely important role in Wang Junlin's plan, and there must be no mass killings, because this place is an excellent place to develop into a base behind enemy lines.
As long as dangerous passes are built at both ends, the Wagang Army can be blocked from the outside. Xiaohe Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland. Even if it is blocked by the Wagang Army at both ends, it can still be self-sufficient.
For this reason, long before Li Xuanba and Li Jing led the Storm Bear Battalion into the Wagang Army's sphere of influence, the Military Intelligence Office, the Wulin Guild, and the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce had already done a lot of work here, sending various personnel in various capacities in advance.
Sneaking here, even three of the thousand dead men sent by Nie Xiaoyu from Snake Island two years ago are here, and now they have become the masters of the underground gangs in the town.
Li Xuanba was too lazy to pay attention to how things were going in Xiaohe Town, while Li Jing looked shocked and lamented after being informed by the accompanying Military Intelligence Bureau personnel of what was happening in Xiaohe Town.
Li Jing carefully studied the terrain and troop deployment of the Wagang Army during this period, and finally discovered the importance of the geographical location of Xiaohe Town, but he also only thought that before the army entered the hinterland of the Wagang Army, it must control this place to ensure its advance.
You can attack, retreat and defend.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Junlin, who was far away in Fanyang County, had long been eyeing this place. Moreover, Wang Junlin was fully prepared for this place and even planned to establish some kind of base behind enemy lines here.
Li Jing didn't understand the meaning of the words "base area behind enemy lines" at first, but after he read the "Related Plan for the Operation of Xiaohe Town Base Area" signed by Wang Junlin himself, he felt deeply about Wang Junlin's courage.
Shocked by strength and wisdom.
Since Wang Junlin wants to develop a base behind enemy lines here, it would be best if he could disarm Xiaohe Town without any bloodshed.
The stone wall surrounding Xiaohe Town is high and thick, which can effectively prevent bandits from raiding, but after all, it is not as good as a regular city wall.
A few grenades can easily blow down the city wall.
In order to cooperate with what happened in Xiaohe Town, Li Jing asked Li Xuanba to lead the Storm Bear Battalion to advance to an open space visible outside Xiaohe Town and wait for orders.
Before sunset, a mutiny suddenly broke out in Xiaohe Town.
The 10,000 soldiers of Xiaohe Town who were loyal to Wagang Village refused to surrender. A thousand servants of three large families in Xiaohe Town and underground gangs threatened the 200 soldiers guarding the gate and surrendered. Unexpectedly, the matter was not kept secret, and Wagang Village of Xiaohe Town
When the defenders noticed something unusual, they were immediately killed inside.
Fortunately, the city gate was opened, and Li Xuanba led his men with shining eyes and rushed in. He quickly brought the situation under control, surrounded and killed most of the 10,000 soldiers loyal to Wagang Village, and the rest knelt down and surrendered.
Even so, more than 300 people in Xiaohe Town were accidentally injured, and there was a lot of crying.
Li Xuanba didn't care about this. He was used to seeing death and injury. Even if tens of thousands of corpses were piled up in front of him, he could still chew meat cakes without changing his expression.
After taking control of Xiaohe Town, Li Jing and Li Xuanba led the Baoxiong Battalion to set up camp in a relatively open area fifteen miles southwest of Xiaohe Town, temporarily blocking the intersection from the hinterland of Wagang Village into Xiaohe Town.
, and also gave Xiaohe Town to another group of people sent by Wang Junlin.
This group of people is very mixed, including farmers who are good at planting new villagers in Fanyang County, craftsmen who are good at building waterwheels and dams, students who graduated from Fanyang Academy, and of course a group of petty officials carefully selected by Du Ruhui. In addition,
They are the personnel from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Fanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xiaoyu Theater, and the Martial Arts Guild.
The person who led these people here was Wei Zheng. Before he came here, he and the key elements who came to Xiaohe Town this time were sent to Snake Island to receive a three-month special project organized by Nie Xiaoyu personally on establishing base areas behind enemy lines.
Study and training.
In addition, a group of 10,000 Far Eastern soldiers magically appeared in the town. They will be stationed in Xiaohe Town for a long time. Leading these 10,000 people is the great thief Shou Li Shanfei who has just finished training on Snake Island.
Most of these ten thousand people were also bandits under his command. Of course, these people had been sent to Snake Island this year to receive the training and baptism prepared by Nie Xiaoyu and became an army.
Li Shanfei obeyed Wei Zheng's orders. He led 10,000 troops, wearing uniforms and marching neatly into Xiaohe Town. Except for the 2,000 people who took over the defense of Xiaohe Town, the main force was stationed on the hillside on one side of Xiaohe Town.
In the small river village.
The Far Eastern Army did not take control of Xiaohe Town in the name of the Sui Dynasty, but in the name of the famous King of Qin'an, Wang Junlin.
Maybe it’s because Wang Junlin’s fame and reputation are very good in Xiaohe Town, or maybe it’s because the Far East Army has never killed people randomly after entering the town, let alone robbed the people’s money and food or harmed the women in the town. Most of the people in the town have never killed anyone.
After the initial panic, they have calmly accepted the fact that they are controlled by the Far East Army.
What's more, in their opinion, it's just a matter of changing a group of officials to collect grain and tax, and life will continue to be the same. What's more, the news that "the people under the rule of the Poison King are living a paradise-like life" has been reported by the Military Intelligence Bureau and
Thanks to the publicity of Xiaoyu Theater, it has already spread all over the world.
Because the battle to capture Xiaohe Town was not too fierce, except for most of the Wagang soldiers loyal to Wagang Village who were annihilated,
More than 100 rural warriors were killed or injured in the local recruitment, and more than 100 rural warriors surrendered their armor and were imprisoned in a temple on the top of the back mountain.
The families whose children died were naturally heartbroken, took the body, wrapped it in a straw mat and buried it; the families whose children were imprisoned in a centralized manner, although they heard from the big family in the town that the Far East Army would release them and forget the blame, they could not see anyone being released.
When I came back, I still felt very uneasy.
Even the big families in the town were worried, worried that the Far East Army would pursue the culprits. After all, they had strongly supported the Wagang Army before.
What's more, judging from their experience, they are worried that the Far East Army will plunder and extort the place. At the same time, they also think that this is the territory of Wagangzhai. Although the Far East Army is powerful, not many people come, so they are worried about Wagangzhai.
The Gang army counterattacked again.
The big families in the town, headed by Zheng Chengjie of the Zheng family, gathered around Wei Zheng, who had a gentle smile on his face, to express their loyalty. At the same time, they did not dare to neglect. That night, these big families gathered together ten carts of grain, seven pigs, and fifty pigs.
The sheep and two thousand taels of silver were sent to Li Shanfei's military camp in Xiaohe Village overnight.
However, Li Shanfei said that the local donated materials would be received by officials sent by Wei Zheng, the political affairs officer, and the army could only redeem grain, cattle, sheep and other materials at market prices. Not to mention the money was confiscated, two large boxes of copper coins were given back to the wealthy households in the town.
The wealthy people in the town had never seen an army act like this, and they became even more uneasy.
A dozen heads of large households gathered in the Zheng family's mansion, looking worried at the two bags of exquisite copper coins produced by Fanyang County Coin Factory.
With the advent of troubled times, the copper coins of the Sui Dynasty a few years ago were affected by various fake copper coins, and became less and less valuable. In troubled times, the most valuable thing was food and other food, followed by gold and silver.
As early as three years ago, Wang Junlin had unified the currency in all counties and counties under his rule, including more than a thousand overseas islands, and the Annan Kingdom on the Goguryeo Peninsula, and even established a complete currency factory.
By controlling the currency, Wang Junlin Group makes an annual profit of no less than five million taels of silver.
The copper coins minted by Fanyang County Mint not only have exquisite patterns and meticulous workmanship, but also are of sufficient weight. No one in the world can imitate them. Therefore, Fanyang coins are not counterfeit. Now they are not only widely circulated under Wang Junlin's rule, but also by other surrounding forces.
Counties and counties gradually recognized only Fanyang coins.
Every time the Far Eastern Army captured a place, the first thing that followed was Fanyang coins flooding the market, becoming the only trading currency in the market.
What's more, through the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce and Xiaoyu Theater, a large amount of materials were traded to the local area. In the end, all the money made went to the local area. Now Fanyang coins have been widely circulated throughout the world.
In just two or three years, Fanyang coins have been firmly established in Hebei, Hedong, Northwest, Guanzhong, Henan, Jianghuai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Lianghu, including all areas still controlled by the Sui Dynasty, and on the territory controlled by Wagangzhai.
occupied the market.
Therefore, the big families in Xiaohe Town have long seen Fan Yang Qian's appearance.
The most common Fanyang copper coin is ten coins, and its price on the market is equivalent to hundreds of old copper coins made in the Sui Dynasty.
It is said that this ratio is too exaggerated, but the Fanyang copper coins are relatively abundant, the copper color is exquisite and the patterns are exquisite, and it is absolutely difficult to imitate. Compared with the local and shoddy coins made by the Sui Dynasty, everyone in the world knows that the Fanyang copper coins are precious, let alone the money they get.
Fan Yang Tong Yuan could go to Wang Junlin at any time to purchase food, tools, ships and other items, so no one was willing to boycott Fan Yang Tong Yuan.
Even now, there are hundreds of thousands of Fanyang coins accumulated in Wagang Village, and Li Mi is planning to send people to Fanyang County to purchase grain and some utensils under disguised identities.
