117 [Caught a wild book] (For the leader of the demon sword Wanhua
Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Zhao Han sighed: "Let's bury them. The dead are the most important, so they should be laid to rest in the earth."
"Please give me a generous burial!"
Ouyang Zheng suddenly held up his hands and said, "Loyal ministers and righteous men, don't neglect them. I will write their epitaphs."
Zhao Han sneered: "Do you think you are very noble?"
Xiao Huan couldn't help but say: "The general town cares about the world. Such loyal ministers and righteous men should be buried with honors."
"If I give them a good burial," Zhao Han pointed at the bodies of Xie Xuelong and Li Zongxue, and then pointed at the remains of the rebel army in the distance, "should all my soldiers be given a good burial? Are the mud-legged people meaner than the officials? I said bury them.
, because the dead are the most important thing, I can’t do anything like exposing corpses in the wilderness!”
Xiao Huan hesitated to speak. He had gradually figured out Zhao Han's path and knew that admonishment at this time was useless.
Zhao Han ordered: "Buy ordinary coffins for them and erect a monument in a serious way. As for anyone who doesn't like it, just spend money to find Feng Shui and move the tombs of these two and replace the monuments. I will not stop them."
"I'll pay for it!" Ouyang Zheng said immediately.
"what ever."
After Zhao Han finished speaking, he walked away and came to the remains of his soldiers.
In the battle involving thousands of people, the rebels suffered over a hundred casualties, but only six were killed, more than ten were seriously injured, and the rest were all minor injuries.
Zhao Han announced: "Burn the deceased into ashes and take them back for a good burial. Tomorrow we will send troops to attack Yongyang Town and change the Xiao Ancestral Hall there into the Heroic Soul Hall. From now on, all the soldiers who died in battle will be enshrined in the Heroic Soul Hall."
Although cremation was not mainstream in the Ming Dynasty, it was not excluded. Officials and businessmen who died in other places could have their ashes burned and taken back to their hometown for burial.
Xiao Huan's face looked a little strange. Although his hometown was not in Yongyang Town, the Xiao family there was considered to be from the same clan as him.
In Luling County, the number of people with the surname Liu is the highest, followed by those with the surname Wang, the third with the surname Li, and the fourth with the surname Xiao.
"Do you have any opinions?" Zhao Hanxiao asked.
Xiao Huan smiled and said: "The main town is joking, what do I have to say? Just keep the Xiao family ancestral hall, I will never be able to enter it in my life."
Zhao Han also said to other soldiers: "All the seriously injured and disabled people this time will be sent to the almshouse to do whatever work they can. Those who died in battle and have no heirs, if they encounter orphans in the future, can be raised in the almshouse and change their names to their children."
They spread the incense, and the land was given to their adopted sons!"
As soon as this statement came out, the soldiers obeyed him.
Xiao Huan secretly exclaimed and praised Zhao Han's method of winning people's hearts.
If you are alive, you can get land, if you are disabled, someone will take care of you, if you are dead, you can enjoy a temple, and if you have no children, you can still pass on the incense... If you get this set up, why worry about the soldiers not dying?
Ouyang Zheng stared at Zhao Han, exclaiming in his heart: What a monster in troubled times!
"Your name is Wu Yong, right?" Zhao Han walked up to an injured soldier.
Wu Yong showed a simple and honest smile: "Back to the main town, I am Wu Yong."
Zhao Han patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "In the future, lead your troops well and don't rush blindly. This time, you will be granted land first, and you will continue to be a leader. You will be promoted next time if you make meritorious services. Remember, you must learn to write, and in the future you will be able to do all the tasks above."
Literate three hundred!"
"Thank you, Master, for showing me the fields!" Wu Yong subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
Zhao Han scolded: "Get up, soldiers are not allowed to kneel down!"
Wu Yong quickly stood up and saluted with one arm across his chest. This was a military salute invented by Zhao Han.
There were roughly four types of military salutes in the Ming Dynasty: kneeling down directly, bowing with hands, kneeling with both knees and bowing hands, and kneeling with one knee and bowing hands.
How to do it depends on each other's military rank and whether they are wearing armor. If you are wearing armor, it is not convenient to kneel down. You usually kneel on one knee or stand and hold your hands.
Anyway, it was quite confusing. Zhao Han looked awkward and changed his position to one arm across his chest.
Zhao Han walked up to another soldier and asked, "Your name is Wang Biandan?"
"Hey, I'm Wang Biandan." This guy was very happy. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhao would still remember him.
Zhao Han encouraged: "You surrendered to the army in Baisha Town. Our territory cannot reach Baisha Town for the time being, but we can fight back one day!"
Wang Biandan was excited when he heard this and quickly stood up straight and saluted.
Seeing Zhao Han slowly walking by and calling out the names of soldiers one after another, the worry on Ouyang Zhan's face became more and more intense.
This rebel leader was a natural-born general, but it was a pity that he could not be used by the court.
Zhao Han suddenly turned around: "Captain Xiao, you are responsible for the logistics and baggage. You have been very busy these two days. All the confiscated warships have been brought back, which can be used to transport troops and food."
"Do you want to pay to redeem it?" Xiao Huan asked.
"From whom?" Zhao Han asked with a smile, "Those ships are all military supplies we captured. If anyone dares to ask for it, let them find the governor. If they dare not go on the road, send them to meet the governor!
"
Xiao Huan cupped his hands and said, "I understand the humble position!"
Zhao Han corrected him: "Don't call yourself a humble person. There are no humble people in our army."
Xiao Huan immediately stood up straight and shouted: "Understood!"
Xiao Huan, Fei Chun, Huang Shunde and others were as tired as Gray Sun Tzu. They were making arrangements for all kinds of logistics materials and were in a state of confusion for two consecutive days.
Before leaving, Zhao Han called Zhang Yin over because the damn eunuch's leg hadn't healed yet.
"Congratulations Zhang Zhenfu, you are about to regain the city of Ji'an." Zhao Han said with a smile.
Zhang Yin sat on the bench, nodded and bowed: "Everything depends on Mr. Zhao. From now on, I will be Mr. Zhao's dog."
"Don't talk about these useless things. Do you believe this?" Zhao Han handed over a letter, "Please help me pass it on to the Jiangxi garrison eunuch."
"I will definitely hand it over, I will definitely hand it over." Zhang Yin said repeatedly.
According to Xiao Huan's intention, he wanted to bribe the Jiangxi garrison eunuch with a large sum of money, and he also ghost-wrote a secret letter with great literary talent.
Zhao Han directly changed the letter, and the content was easy to understand: You will be your eunuch, and I will be my rebel. If you send troops to Luling County, I will lead them to Nanchang Prefecture. I have withdrawn.
Leaving Ji'an Fucheng is a big gift for you, you have to decide whether you accept it or not.
After reading the secret letter that Zhao Han had changed, Xiao Huan couldn't laugh or cry.
But we must admit that threats may be more effective than bribes!
At this moment, Zhao Han got straight to the point and said: "Zhengshou Zhang, how about we draw up a territory?"
Zhang Yin asked: "How to draw the territory?"
"Xuanhua Township, Yongfu Township, Dongdu Township, and Tianxin Township, these four townships are under my jurisdiction," Zhao Han said with a smile, "The government should not come to these four townships to collect taxes. I will not be idle and attack them."
Fucheng.”
There are eight townships in Luling County, and Zhao Han just took away half of them!
Zhang Yin rolled his eyes wildly and said, "I can't make the decision. It's a matter for the magistrate of Luling."
Zhao Han was very talkative: "I won't embarrass Zhang Zhenshou. You can tell the new magistrate. If the new magistrate is unwilling, just kill him and replace him."
"Haha, I will tell you, I will tell you." Zhang Yin was frightened when he heard this.
Zhao Han said: "I will leave tomorrow. We will meet again if we are destined."
"Goodbye, goodbye!" Zhang Yin quickly agreed with a smile. He never wanted to see Zhao Han again in his life.
Zhengde six years, mid-November.
The eunuch Zhang Yin who was stationed in Ji'an recruited local soldiers to fight bravely, and finally drove the rebel Zhao Yan out of the city!
Of course, there is also the contribution of the eunuchs who guarded Jiangxi.
As for other officials, they all died heroically for the country, including the governor Xie Xuelong.
The dead man is the big one. If the eunuch bites Jie Xuelong and refuses to let go, the Donglin Party will not let it go, and it will definitely arouse public anger.
Before Zhao Han led his troops to leave the city, there were thousands more people dragging their families with them, who were willing to follow the rebels. Zhao Han accepted them all and promised that they could allocate their fields, since he had no shortage of land now.
The thieves in Xuanhua Township were running around, and they also kidnapped a large number of Yongfu Township, leaving a large area of unclaimed land that was just short of people to resettle and cultivate.
The land allocation policy has been adjusted. Those who are over 12 years old, regardless of gender, can each be allocated three acres of land (with medium-sized land as the standard).
If you still want to divide the land, you have to perform meritorious service. It does not have to be military merit. Civilians can also count merit points, and ordinary villagers can also get merit points for doing official things.
This approach cannot last long, and there will definitely be no land left in the future, but it is very suitable at this stage.
Moreover, there is an upper limit on the number of individual fields. If the limit is exceeded, other rewards will be given, such as money, food, official positions, etc.
As soon as Zhao Han's fleet entered Helu River from Ganjiang River, they ran into Li Banghua's boat.
"Seize the ship and arrest the people!" Zhao Han immediately ordered.
Xiao Huan asked: "Didn't the headquarter say that merchant ships will not be robbed?"
Zhao Han laughed and said, "That's a crappy merchant ship. It's a shallow draft and you're not afraid of losing money?"
However, when Li Banghua heard that Jie Xuelong's entire army had been wiped out, he ordered the Xiangyong to disband on the spot. Because those Xiangyong were recruited nearby, Li Banghua only had more than thirty disciples.
Today, there are still more than 20 soldiers of Li Banghua's disciples. They all took a large ship to go home and took off their flags to disguise themselves as merchant ships.
Li Shangshu is indeed very talented, but he forgot about the waterline of merchant ships. He should get some stones to ballast them.
Zhao Han has been living in Qianshan Hekou Town for several years and has seen countless merchant ships coming and going. A merchant ship with such a shallow draft will definitely lose money to his grandma's family.
So suspicious!
Li Banghua was surrounded by people, but he was able to bend and bend and said humbly: "This military master is a merchant from Yongxin County, and he is going to Ji'an to purchase goods."
Zhao Han boarded the ship with his soldiers and asked, "What is your business?"
"Buying and selling some paper products." Li Banghua is very familiar with all kinds of paper. After all, he is a literati.
Zhao Han asked: "You just go to buy goods with an empty ship?"
Li Banghua suddenly realized that he had exposed his secret. In fact, the ship was not empty. There were still a few stones of food in the cabin.
"Catch him!" Zhao Han ordered.
Li Banghua had no weapons on him, and his soldiers were hiding in the cabin. He had only two nephews around him. He was captured by the rebels in an instant.
Zhao Han smiled and said: "Tell me, where are you from?"
Li Banghua remained silent.
Xiao Huan got on the boat quite excitedly: "Headquarters, this is Mr. Li Meng'an, the former Secretary of the Ministry of War." After saying that, Xiao Huan bowed respectfully and said, "I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Meng An!"
Li Banghua said nothing and just stood waiting for death. He didn't even bother to scold the rebels.
Zhao Han didn't know much about Li Banghua and asked, "How is this person?"
Xiao Huan replied: "The talents of the country are the ministers of the country."
"Then come back with me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "let the other people on the ship go and let them go home to report that Mr. Li has been invited by me to be my guest."
This unexpected gain is simply inexplicable.
