Chapter 75 Looting
Chapter 75 Robbery (please order first!)
The black banner had been erected in the village. Under the banner, Li Zijing stopped and looked at it. The shouts of killing in his ears gradually weakened.
This was not a battle at all. The Chen family's village was very small, and most of the so-called servants holding swords and guns to resist had received little training.
Throw away the swords and guns, they are just a group of hooligans, they can bully the honest people, but when they encounter the regular army, they will only be crushed.
Even the ordinary soldiers of the front camp are all uniformly dressed. From the fighting spirit to the weapons and equipment, they are not comparable to the ruffians in these local villages.
Facing Wu Zhaosheng's attack, Tuzhai's defense collapsed almost instantly.
This battle was indeed nothing to watch. The reason why Li Zijing asked Wu Zhaosheng and Hao Yaoqi to lead their own troops was because he wanted to see their choices.
After entering the Tuzhai, Wu Zhaosheng immediately issued military orders. Although there were sporadic indiscriminate killings, they were quickly stopped.
Most of the local soldiers who surrendered were lucky to survive, but the head of the Chen family died in the rebellion.
His wives and concubines who tried to escape in the chaos have also been captured and are huddled together and trembling under the fierce gazes of several fine knights.
Li Zijing lowered his eyebrows and took a look, and found that these women were surrounded by jewelry scattered on the floor, and they were indeed pretty.
Li Zijing's eyes moved slightly, looking him up and down.
It's time to take this opportunity to set new rules for them.
There were also a few people who suffered skin abrasions caused by slipping and bumping under their feet.
But Li Zijing had no intention of doing this. He just looked at it briefly and then closed his eyes.
Li Zijing nodded slightly and rode away.
Moving from the interior, there was no need to worry about enemy ambushes. Li Zijing and his party were all on horseback, and within an hour they arrived at the second battlefield.
Why was he not taken seriously in the Chinese army? This time Wu Zhaosheng and Hao Yaoqi led the troops, and the post-war disposition can be said to be very different.
Even from the perspective of modern people, these panic-stricken wives and concubines of the Chen family are more eye-catching than those Internet celebrities in later generations who live in beauty.
Li Zijing stared forward and heard only screams and shouts of death in the flood and drought pier. He rode his horse in and took a look, and then he discovered the problem.
For some unknown reason, Hao Yaoqi led his former battalion to loot the flood and drought docks.
The black arrow jacket on Hao Yaoqi's body was stained even darker with blood, and the wild goose wing knife he was carrying was also covered in blood.
Wu Zhaosheng immediately ordered those who surrendered to avoid death, to take control of all supplies and prisoners, and wait for his arrangements.
"General Zhi, the flag officer has captured the Flood and Drought Dock!"
"All members of my front camp will immediately stop killing and looting, and all surrenderers and supplies will be handed over to the garrison for custody."
If Li Zijing takes nothing, he always feels that he owes too much.
It's just that there are more or less corpses on these ships, and there are also a lot of cargo floating on the water.
Not long after, Hao Yaoqi, looking excited, rushed back with a knife.
This was the first time since Li Zijing traveled across time that he saw Dashun troops looting places.
Thirty riders followed behind him, their manes flying and smoke rising.
Li Zijing suddenly understood why Hao Yaoqi had been a flag officer after working for so many years.
Your life is not completely out of danger, so how can you care about your children's personal relationship?
"General Zhi, how to arrange these people?"
The Jingqi saw the displeasure on Li Zijing's face and was shocked. Although he didn't know where the taboo was violated, he hurriedly left with fists in his hands.
We must completely put an end to the trend of rogue bandits!
"That's fine."
In this attack on Chen's Tuzhai, none of Wu Zhaosheng's more than 3,000 Qing troops were killed, and more than twenty were injured.
From Chenjiazhai to the water and land pier on the east side of the original city of Longjuzhai, it is less than four miles away. After descending the mountain, although there are steep mountains along the way, the official road is still smooth.
"How embarrassing is this? Without the assistance of King Xiao Chuang's front camp, these two villages would not be able to be dealt with by just the humble garrison in ten days and a half."
At this moment, there are many large and small ships moored outside the pier, mainly merchant ships, and most of them are subordinates of local shipping gangs.
As early as when he was in Beijing, Li Zicheng gave repeated orders to the Dashun Army to prohibit looting after entering the city, and promulgated strict military regulations.
In Li Zijing's eyes, the soldiers in the front camp were no different from the bandits who were robbing homes and homes.
As soon as he arrived at Shuihan Wharf, Li Zijing frowned slightly.
"General Zhi, you are here!"
Li Zijing glanced around and tightened his grip on the horse's reins.
Li Zijing turned around and stared, and found that the rest of the people in the village had taken away their weapons and were controlled in one place, only obeying his orders.
"Isn't the war over? Why are there still shouts of killing?"
The flood and drought wharf in Longjuzhai was created by water transportation from the north to the south, and has now developed into a huge commercial hub in the mainland.
While the two were talking, a horse suddenly came running down the mountain.
But when he saw a fine knight wearing a black arrow jacket, he immediately said.
If he fought two battles but got nothing, that would not be the case. Even if Li Zijing wanted to agree, the soldiers in the front camp would not agree.
"General Ma, it is not easy to rebuild Longju Village, and Your Majesty does not have any extra materials to allocate to you. The materials and personnel of these two villages will be left to you."
"Pass this general's military orders."
"The general has misunderstood. It is the flag officer who is cleaning the battlefield."
"How you use them to rebuild Longju Village is your own business."
Of course, there are not many people in the village who can shoot arrows, and they don't have any heavy weapons. Most of these people are hit by arrows from the mountains. These arrows are so light that it is even more difficult to break through the cotton-padded clothes.
Clear the battlefield?
Wu Zhaosheng put away his sword, walked up to Li Zijing, and gave a respectful fist-holding salute.
What's more, if you go to Xiangyang now, you also need start-up funds. You can take some with you to reward the army, or you can keep it for use in Xiangyang.
As for capturing the hundreds of people in the Chen family's home village, he had his own arrangements.
He didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and smiled broadly.
The air of the entire Flood and Drought Dock was filled with the smell of blood that was several times stronger than that of Chenjiazhai. The soldiers of the front camp were searching for supplies everywhere.
Li Zijing's tone was low, and there was no joy after victory on his face.
"When Little Chuang Wang leaves, please bring whatever supplies you can take with you, and don't refuse again."
Ma Shitai looked at Li Zijing's back with a little curiosity on his face, then turned around and ordered his subordinates to sort out the supplies.
The Jingqi looked startled, then smiled.
"What a boat gang, they're just a bunch of rabble, they can't help but fight!"
The Dashun Army has always done this, and rarely plunders places.
When he returns to the army, let the doctor who is accompanying the army bandage him a little and he will be fine.
There were shouts and chaos everywhere.
After pondering for a long time, Li Zijing nodded.
Li Zijing did not get angry directly here, but endured the anger in his heart and tried to speak in a calm tone.
It wasn't just the landowners and boat gangs who were robbed, many stalls were kicked over, and even the merchants and vendors near the flood and drought docks were also robbed.
In Li Zijing's impression, the Dashun Army should have completely gotten rid of this bad habit of looting and killing indiscriminately after the war a long time ago.
Seeing this, Ma Shitai finally felt relieved.
Ma Shitai was stunned and felt really sorry, so he kept saying.
If we give people this image outside, is this still called a rebel army? Is this still called doing justice for heaven?
Of course, this was not just Hao Yaoqi's problem. Li Zijing had never explicitly prohibited looting before.
"Send the order and hand over the flood and drought pier to Ma Shitai immediately."
With that said, Li Zijing turned and left.
"Raise the account! Military meeting!"
Please order first, there will be two more updates later.
Chapter completed!
