The next morning, as soon as Li Chenghua arrived at the government office, his subordinates hurried over and handed her a piece of information.
"Capital, this is a message from General Wang Qian from Feige, Lanzhou. They conducted a preliminary interrogation in Jincheng."
Jincheng County is the place where Li Ye started his career in Longxing. It is also the seat of the old government office of the Neiwei. There are still more than a thousand people in Jincheng who are responsible for monitoring the Helong area.
Wang Qian conducted his first interrogation in Jincheng and obtained some important information.
Of course, Kongsberg would not disclose in-depth information. For example, he would never disclose information involving the Society of Saints.
But the information involving the trafficking of girls was shallow information, and he had to tell it all in order to save his life.
Li Chenghua unfolded the pigeon letter and read it once, and immediately ordered: "Find General Zhou quickly!"
Not long after, Huben Zhonglang hurried over to Zhou Xiao, bowed and saluted, and said: "See you at the capital!"
Li Chenghua handed him the pigeon letter, "This is the pigeon letter sent by Wang Qian from Jincheng. It contains a list of three people in Chang'an. Lead your men to arrest them immediately!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
A quarter of an hour later, thousands of internal guards divided into three groups and attacked Yanshoufang, Xinfeng County and Xianyang County. These were the three human traffickers involved in the trafficking of girls in Chang'an, who were the bosses of Kong Shibo. Of course, there were also people in Luoyang.
Currently, we are mainly arresting three human traffickers in Chang'an, and Liu Guiqing from Yanshoufang is the first to be arrested.
Liu Guiqing was still feeding the parrots in the corridor. He evacuated the more than 300 young ladies in his hands to the countryside, avoiding the interrogation of various counties the night before. He was quite proud of his foresight.
"master!"
The housekeeper rushed over with a look of horror on his face: "Hundreds of guardsmen are coming from outside, and they are rushing in!"
"ah!"
Liu Guiqing seemed to have fallen into the abyss, standing motionless.
"over there!"
Dozens of internal guards rushed over from both sides of the corridor. Liu Guiqing's legs went weak and he said, "Plop!" He sat on the ground, shaking all over and unable to say a word.
Liu Guiqing was tied up and taken away by the internal guards, and then his two sons and several grandsons were also taken away, including his wife and two concubines, who also participated in the discipline of the girls, and were all taken away.
The internal guards began an emergency interrogation. In order to survive, Liu Guiqing confessed like a quarrel. All the human traffickers who had cooperated with him were exposed and confessed by him.
Liu Guiqing was actually a middleman who took girls from upstream traffickers, trained them, taught music and dance, and then handed them over to Sogdians downstream, such as Kongsbo.
For three consecutive days, the internal guards conducted a large-scale raid in Jingzhao Prefecture and even Guanzhong, arresting more than a hundred traffickers and rescuing more than a thousand girls and boys who had been hidden by them.
Liu Guiqing trafficked thousands of girls in twenty years and committed a heinous crime. Although he reported a large number of human traffickers, it was not enough to atone for his crime. Emperor Li Ye issued an order and Liu Guiqing's entire family was executed. Only one grandson was left and sent to Lingnan, and the rest included Luoyang.
More than 300 traffickers, including criminals, were also beheaded.
This severe crackdown on human traffickers finally curbed the trend of trafficking in girls that had lasted for more than 20 years. As the news spread, human traffickers from all over the world were so frightened that they hid and changed their names. However, once they were caught by the government, they could not escape death.
.
Although the human trafficker incident has come to an end, some deep inside stories have just been revealed. For example, the backstage of the trafficking of girls from the Tang Dynasty, the Holy Girl Society, has gradually surfaced.
In Liaodong, Guo Ziyi led an army of 100,000 people into the Bohai Kingdom, and approached the old capital of the Bohai Kingdom in Beijing.
At this time, Guo Ziyi had already contacted Li Chengshi, the navy commander, and learned that Li Chengshi had destroyed all the Japanese warships and annihilated more than 14,000 enemy soldiers, cutting off the Japanese army's escape route through the waterway.
Guo Ziyi was overjoyed. He immediately deduced that the number of Japanese troops in Beijing was less than 40,000, and it was best to lure them out to fight.
Ren Tianling was very familiar with the terrain. He pointed at the map and said: "To the west of Shangjing City is the pastureland of the original Bohai royal family. The grassland is more than ten miles in radius and is surrounded by forests. It is very suitable for combat. Moreover, Shangjing City is not a completely closed city at present. The palace
It is being expanded, and several miles of city walls have been demolished, allowing the army to march directly into the city."
Guo Ziyi originally wanted to ask them why their 60,000-strong army did not come back to avenge their families, but instead surrendered to the Khitan. The apparent reason was that they had run out of food, but there were still horses, cattle and other livestock in their camp, which could be killed for dry food.
You can fight your way back to Beijing in a few days.
Guo Ziyi actually vaguely guessed that the soldiers of the Bohai Navy were still frightened by the Japanese army and did not dare to come back to avenge their families.
Guo Ziyi smiled and said to General Xi Wanli: "Let's use the old method and use a small number of troops to attract the Japanese army."
Xi Wanli immediately understood, clasped his fists and said: "I am leading 20,000 cavalry to ambush in the forests on both sides."
Guo Ziyi nodded, "Let five thousand heavy armored infantry go into battle.!"
Guo Ziyi looked back at Ren Tianling and said calmly: "I estimate that there will still be thousands of Japanese troops in the city. I will leave them to General Ren to deal with them."
Ren Tianling nodded, "I want to use their hearts and livers to sacrifice their dead relatives!"
In the early morning, the Japanese general Umeharu Fujiwara received the news and discovered a Tang army infantry force of 5,000 people ten miles outside the West City.
With no way to retreat, Fujiwara Umeji immediately ordered that 3,000 men be left to defend the city. He personally led an army of 35,000 to the outside of the west city and annihilated the 5,000-man Tang army.
The Japanese army also bullied the weak and feared the strong. They only dared to attack the opponent with only 5,000 men. If the opponent had an army of 50,000, they would not dare.
The 35,000 Japanese army consisted of 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 samurai, with an additional 5,000 cavalry attendants.
The main weapons of the cavalry are heavy cane bows and short spears. The short spears are not their own weapons, but weapons captured from the Bohai Treasury and equipped to the cavalry.
In the past few months, the Japanese army has been training cavalry to fight with short spears, and the effect is remarkable. In particular, the cavalry is used to charge with short spears, which is extremely lethal. After scattering the enemy infantry, the samurai group then attacks and chops down the enemy with tachi.
The head of the army.
On the vast grassland, 35,000 Japanese troops have lined up. In front of them are 10,000 cavalry, wearing black rattan armor, holding short spears, bows and arrows on their backs, and riding ponies.
Ten thousand cavalry lined up in order, and the twenty thousand warriors behind them also wore rattan armor and bamboo hats on their heads. Each of them carried two swords on his waist, full of murderous intent.
Finally, there were five thousand cavalry attendants. They also participated in the battle. They had no armor, wore linen clothes, held a short spear in their hand, and carried a short sword at their waist. They were barefoot and looked very simple.
It's not that there are no leather armors and boots in the Shangjing warehouse, it's just that their status doesn't allow them to wear armor and shoes.
Although there were many people, every soldier was very short, almost around 1.5 meters tall. They all looked like eight or nine-year-old schoolchildren, but each of them had a devilish and fierce light in their eyes.
The heavy armored infantry are completely the opposite. All of them are over 1.9 meters tall, and the leader Xu Zongran is even more than 2 meters tall.
Xu Zongran was Black Spear, who was named the Duke of Bian, the Champion General, and the Kaifu Yitong Sansi. He was originally named the Zuowei General and retired, but this time he went to Liaodong, he repeatedly requested, and was finally approved.
He was renamed a general in charge of the capital and followed Guo Ziyi on the expedition.
Xu Zongran looked at the enemy's little pony, sneered in his heart, turned around and shouted loudly: "Although the enemy is small, they are all murderous demons. Don't underestimate the enemy, we will kill them without mercy!"
The five thousand heavy armored infantrymen held their swords in awe, and Xu Zongran shouted again: "Skirmishing style!"
A battle flag soldier raised the blue flag high and waved it vigorously.
There are many formations of heavy armored infantry, and they are not all the same as wall advancement. Different formations will be adopted for different enemy forces and situations.
For example, the wall soldier type is to advance like a wall, and the divided force type is divided into several small formations, with 500 people forming a group to fight separately.
There is also the round soldier formation, which is arranged in a barrel shape. This formation is often used when surrounded by a large number of enemy troops.
The current skirmishing style means that the formation is loosely separated, and it means fighting independently, but the basics will not change. No matter how the heavy armored infantry changes its formation, it will always be a basic combat unit with five people.
The five thousand heavy armored infantry quickly expanded and spread out, forming a group of five soldiers. Each group was about two feet apart. This allowed the enemy cavalry and infantry to infiltrate, like a huge fishing net. As long as they came in,
Don't even think about escaping again.
Therefore, the skirmisher style is also called the net soldier style.
"Woo——"
The Japanese army's horn sounded, and General Fujiwara Umeji waved his sword, "annihilate all the enemy forces!"
Ten thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out and attacked the Tang army overwhelmingly. Twenty thousand warriors raised their swords and charged. There was no formation. They all formed their own formations and rushed towards the Tang army with wild shouts.
