Chapter 559 Village (Three)

"What kind of family is Chengjia Village? The leader claims to be Chengjia Five Tiger Generals. When the bandits were in rebellion, they opened the county government treasury and summoned the people. Although they had met with the bandits for a few battles, they were said to have had a lot of contact with the bandits. The family was a powerful man in Miangu County. The former Shu government was also polite to them. The five sons of Chengjia took advantage of the power to run rampant in the village, and no one could manage them.

Judging from the current situation, there is still a gap between the founding family and the land of claiming to be king, but some other thoughts are certain, and they can be regarded as equal to the rioters."

By the fifth day, the 500 soldiers under Mu Huali had arrived in Miangu County. Before that, I had found out the details of the family in Miangu County. There was nothing to say. It was said that heroes came from troubled times. In fact, most of these heroes were similar to Liu Bang, who were troubled by their hometowns and neighbors. In other words, they didn't do any good things in normal times, but they did a great career in troubled times. Just say that Dian Wei, the brave general of the Three Kingdoms, once killed people, and no one dared to approach. Such a person, you say that in a peaceful and prosperous era, most of them were bandits, but in a troubled era, they became a hero admired by everyone and well-known to later generations.

Having said that, there are not only one or two people like Cheng Jia Wuhu in Shu at this time. When the Great Qin attacked Shu, the heroes of the grassroots were ready to move. If the Great Qin could not pacify Shu, they would really not know who the people in Shu were the world. The Divine Sect was just a bird that came forward.

"General Zhang said, well, only those leaders are killed, so there is no need to kill others. Those who put down their swords and guns and let them go back to farm and cultivate the land."

When Mu Huali spoke, everyone around him laughed. General Zhang's original words were to punish the evil people, and he never asked about them. The eight words were very common in the army, but the lieutenant had been working for a long time before he understood what it meant. However, when he came, he still couldn't remember the original words.

Mu Huali also laughed. The Han people bit their mouths very much. Sometimes he really couldn't understand them, especially Zhang Jin's Sichuan-Chinese dialect, which he listened even more to the clouds and mountains and fog.

In addition to being embarrassed, he reached out and slapped Goudan's shoulder, who was standing beside him, and smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, do you want to take the lead? It's impossible to have strength alone. Only courage is the best gift given to the warriors by immortality."

The Mongolian people are simple and have no overnight grudges. Goudan is also a straight man and is not so stingy. So the two days ago, they still looked straight and looked up at each other, wishing they could draw their swords to face each other, but after getting along these days, they have been talking and fighting each other, and sometimes fighting each other, and sometimes competing for bows and arrows, but they have let the gap go. Even if they can't go together, they will no longer be glaring at each other.

Goudan also showed a honest smile, "You guys speak like singing, and take the lead, but you have to talk about the food, salt, and what to do in the village? It won't be like you on the grassland, you will be rolled back?"

This time, before Mu Huali could speak, one of them had already spoken, "Then it would be necessary to say that when we were in Hexi, we could take away what we could not take away, and we would burn the fire. Oh, you guys say that now it is really similar to when we were in Hexi. Let them open the city to surrender first, otherwise we would go in and kill the mother. How could that be said?"

"Just first and then the army. Isn't that what the commander led us in Hexi?"

Three of the several brigade commanders were from the left guard of Yulin. They had been to the Jin Kingdom with Zhao Shi. On weekdays, they could not stop talking about the past during the Eastern Expedition. At this time, they even said that they were so energetic. Although they were quite sarcastic, their heartfelt arrogance made others envious and jealous.

But Mu Huali and Goudan both glared at each other. Although they were the same, they were completely different in their minds. Mu Huali felt that there were not many things they had stolen, so how could they burn it? Anyway, the village could not escape, so they could only move it slowly. Only the jackals on the grassland would waste their food.

And Goudan was even more angry. How could he kill and set fire? He was really a group of turtle sons.

"No, how can you set fire to the fire if you eat or use it?"

After hearing what Mu Huali said, Goudan was happy. He felt that although this Hu man was bloodthirsty, he was still a little conscientious. He knew that food was hard to come by and could not be ruined. However, before he could laugh, Mu Huali's next words made him angry to death.

"Zhang Jin, after the village is broken, you will only move things with a team of people. You would rather go a few more trips than move things back to the army camp."

"If I don't go, I will get all the food away, and the people will starve to death... The commander asked them to put down their swords and guns and go back to farm, not to ask them to go back and wait for death."

Everyone stopped talking. Although they felt that this was reasonable, they distributed the captives without authorization, which was not tolerated by the military rules. The commander's military order did not say how to deal with food, so they naturally did things according to the rules. But then again, the meaning of the commander's military order was just for the peace and tranquility. If the people were starved to death, it would be quiet, but it would definitely not be in line with the commander's original intention. These lower-level officers did not think so much, but when they were mentioned, they all hesitated.

But Mu Huali didn't care about that much and immediately said, "How can you give the harvest to the enemy again? No."

After getting along with him these days, Goudan also knew a little about his temperament, but he had something to say, "I think the Grand Marshal will not let innocent people starve to death. If you get all the food back and starve to death, the Grand Marshal may not like it."

He was full of words about the handsome man here, and Mu Huali hesitated, "Can you know the handsome man's intention?"

Goudan tilted his head, "You just ask them, don't you know? Without the people plowing the fields, where did the army get the food? Without the people, what can they do if they occupy the world in Shu?"

The others saw that one of the two men had no sense of being the leader of the army, while the other was disrespectful to the officials and dared to say anything, and they were all secretly amazed.

But after thinking about it, someone finally came out to smooth things over. "It's better to do this. Anyway, their grain and grass were stolen from the county government treasury, and it should be taken back. But it's not enough to starve to death. Now it's spring plowing, and we can't miss the farming business. We'll send some grain to the people until the harvest season is over. We'll take some back and take some back. It's better to have an explanation. The general will not punish the general for a small matter. Maybe it's up to the general's wishes and can receive some rewards. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Others nodded, and they were like this with people who were mixed. They reduced the risk. Although the returns were uncertain, the risk was reduced, which made people feel at ease, so it was easy to convince others.

This is a matter other than marching and fighting. Mu Huali is still a young man now, so he can do anything. Anyway, he will be punished and he will be punished by himself. He will be happy to see if the general is happy. If he encounters such a thing in the future, it will naturally be easier to deal with, right?

The discussion was decided, Mu Huali waved his hand, "I left, and I have to talk with a scimitar and bow in the end. I broke the village and camped in the village tonight."

Everyone was happy. From Jinzhou to Hanzhong, and then here, after more than a month, the march probably took countless roads. Even veterans felt a little tired. If they could sleep in the village, they saw that the village was not small. If there were some places like the brothels and Chuguan, it would be even better. Holding them in their arms and pressing them under them, it would be a first-class medicine to relieve fatigue.

A battalion of Qin troops swayed and walked between the fields and ridges to a place five or six miles away from Chengjia Village. Chengjia Village had already received news, and the village immediately had a scramble tossing.

The brothers and sisters of Cheng family gathered together. When they heard that more than 500 people from Qin had arrived, they were still quite angry. They were not afraid of anything, and hundreds of people were worthy of anything. If they talked well, it would be fine, otherwise they would be called Qin Gou without returning.

This time, there was a lot of noise. He lived in the back house and rarely walked outside. God was shocked by the Cheng family. He said that it was God. In fact, he was only in his fifties. This old man was better than his son. He studied a lot of books and took a juren. After years of examinations, he failed many exams. He was inevitably discouraged and delayed the great work of his descendants in teaching. His sons didn't read much, but they all became playboys. They caused trouble all day long, which was very worry-free. The only thing he was like was that he was all good at fishing and had never seen many women around him.

He was so sorry that his sons were not good. In the past, he was disliked by his sons, but since the Qin people came and the number of bandits increased, hundreds of people in the villages increased. At this time, people all paid attention to a prosperous population. When they saw these many people gathered together and were surrounded by the family, he felt that his sons were not useless. He was born in troubled times, and his sons were not literary. Who would say that martial artists could not succeed? Military people conquer the world, literati do the world, and now it is the time for military people to use their lives. Maybe they can really revitalize the family and restore the glory of their ancestors.

So he didn't care much about what these sons did. He just enjoyed happiness in the back house of the mansion. There were troubles outside. He didn't care at first that there were bandits in Shu. If it weren't for his sons, the family might have been hit by disaster. Maybe it was the thieves who came again. He didn't understand how to fight and kill, but he also knew that these thieves and Qin people were different. When the Qin people came, they wanted the world of Shu, so as long as they were more respectful, they would pass. But when the thieves came, it would probably be fatal. So, just ask a few sons to make trouble for the matter of gathering villages. There is no need to care about that. Anyway, the reputation of the family in Miangu County will be guaranteed. Whoever sits in the world will be their family.

The reason why local tyrants are local tyrants is precisely because of their mentality. They regard one state and one prefecture as their own tyrants. They are the ones who divide the world in troubled times, while those who regard one village, one town and one county as their homes are small fish and shrimps. However, once the world is in chaos, the ones who cause the most disaster are often these small fish and shrimps. Their psychology is completely different from the psychology of big people. They do not compete for the people's hearts, nor do they talk about justice. This is the truly lawless group of people.

Now Zhao Shi intentionally or unintentionally used the local tyrants in Lizhou as the first target to eradicate. It is inevitable to arouse resistance, but there are many benefits. If the Qin army pacified Sichuan, the local officials would ignore the Qing Dynasty. Second, the land was annexed for more than a hundred years. In Guanglizhou, ten of the land was in the hands of local tyrants like Cheng Jia. Once these people were gone, the land would face a redistribution. The biggest benefit obtained was not the farmer without land, but the Qin Dynasty.

To be honest, what Zhao Shi did now is just to do the things that the bandits had not completed. He might not have thought so much. He just heard that he gathered himself to protect himself, and he had already subconsciously started to eradicate the uncontrolled power and prevent any dangers from appearing on his way. But in fact, the impact of such actions was much greater than he imagined. As the saying goes, the willows were unintentionally planting willows, and after this review, it could ensure a hundred years of stability in Sichuan, which is of great significance.

This is a later statement, so I won't mention it here for now.

Just talking about the family, God who has been married finally got the news. The housekeeper of the family no longer dared to hide it and not report it, but he did what the Qin people did and how the five young men responded to the old man.

The old man of Cheng's family became anxious when he heard this. He didn't care about the rioters, but what were the Qin people? Western Qin, a country of tigers and wolves, the Qin army, the tigers and wolves, and the tigers and wolves. He heard that a few young men were going to fight with the Qin people head-on. The old man almost fainted. Not to mention whether he could fight. This time, you can kill him. What about next time? There are 1,000, 2,000,000 people. It's really a mess. These little beasts are really ignorant. They quickly asked the discipline to call a few unfilial sons to come out of the camp and discuss with the Qin army.

But it was too late. At this time, the Qin army had already arrived under the wall of the village and sent more than a dozen people to shout in unison: "Time has come. Chengjia Village does not obey the orders and looks like a rebel bandit. Now put down the sword and gun and go out to the village to wait for disposal. Our army will only kill the evil and the family, and do not ask the rest. Otherwise, when I kill in, it will be less easy to talk to."

The five tigers of Chengjia were already standing on the wall of the village, looking at the swords and guns below, and the murderous Qin soldiers were all slightly weak. The few people didn't expect that the Qin people actually came, and there were hundreds of people. Look at the posture, there were no intention of talking well. When they heard that they only killed the evil people, they didn't ask, and their hearts trembled. Who is this evil person? If you don't ask, you have already discussed it. You should drive these Qin people away first. The storytellers have said that in a war, it's not good that they surrender without a single sword or a single shot. They may not be able to fight a war and let the Qin people suffer some losses. If they can't be defeated in the future, they can be treated as heroes, right?

"Listen to the people below, I just want to defend my hometown and don't want to die. Get out of Miangu County quickly..."

"No need to talk nonsense to them. Only those who hold bows and arrows will speak loudly. Kill all those who have weapons in their hands." Mu Huali was happy, his eyes shone, and waved his hand.

Amid the command, the ladder was ready, and the hammers of the city hit the city were lit out. The soldiers began to move forward. First, the archers entered the range and stopped on the spot. Under the command of the officers, they bent their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows took off. A scream immediately sounded on the village wall. The crowd who had already vowed to fight to the death were screaming and cursing, scattering, and birds and beasts scattered. In an instant, there were few figures on the village wall.

However, the Qin army immediately rushed up here, with a ladder resting on the wall of the village, and the hammer hit the city began to hit the village gate. It has to be said that the resistance was so weak that they were worse than the rioters. How could they compare with the disciplined Qin army? What's more, Mu Huali belonged to, and they were even more elite among the elite. When they arrived in Miangu County, they almost used a slaughter to kill chickens. How could these teams mixed with servants and farmers stop them? How many people here have killed people? Have you seen blood?

Needless to say, it was almost one-sided. After climbing up the village wall in a few moments, it had already controlled the most important defense of the village. There were panic figures below who were panicked and ready to hide everywhere. When the five tigers of Cheng's family were killed and injured immediately when the arrow rains. The other three were scared and fled back to their own courtyard.

The villages were not very strong. After a few efforts, the village gate fell down with a loud bang. The Qin army entered one after another and began to clean up the periphery of the village in an orderly manner.

The villages were very chaotic, and many of them were temporary houses. Although tens of thousands of people gathered, to be honest, the Five Tigers of Chengjia did not have much management skills. They only ensured that these later people could eat well. Most of them were dressed and had no clothes and had a dirty face. They went out to cultivate the newly obtained fields of Chengjiajiajiajiajia, but they could not eat enough. They were strong and better. They all became private soldiers of Chengjiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajia had pale faces, skinny skin, like walking corpses.

However, the expected chaos did not last long. Most people hid in their houses and waited for the arrival of the storm. Amid the continuous roar of the Qin army, a few put down their weapons, fell to the ground, waiting for the disposal.

Only a very unlucky person was chopped down to the ground by the Qin army without hesitation. The Qin army quickly controlled the entire village. Finally, Mu Huali and others came to the front of the Cheng family mansion.

The door of the house was wide open for a while. God, with a few sons who were ashamed, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The surname is...the surname is Cheng?" Mu Huali asked condescendingly.

The old man of Cheng family kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the villain's surname is Cheng, he has no intention of offending the general's power. Please be kind to the general and spare the villain's family..."

Mu Hualiman waved his hand indifferently, "The general has ordered that two days have passed, and all the people named Cheng in the village have been killed by me. The rest, as long as there are weapons in their hands, it will be the same. We will spend the night here tonight. Tomorrow we will drive all the people home, and we will go back."
