Su He stayed at the guard post for three days, recruiting young men and redressing the troops.
Now his troops don't have to rely solely on mines and grenades.
The weapons are no different from those of officers and soldiers. Basically everyone is equipped with iron spears and long knives, and each member of the new military camp is issued a spear.
Su He looked at the simple maps collected at the guard station and issued an order.
"Su Shan led the soldiers of the Second Company and returned to Sujia Village along the official road with their baggage, young men from the guard station and their families.
Zhang Yuliang accompanied him with cannons to prevent officers and soldiers from leaving the city for sneak attacks.
Su Hu's first company and the new barracks followed me in a large circle and returned to Sujia Village.
The reconnaissance platoon is on guard outside the action route, and is on guard against the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion."
When Su He spoke, his hand drew an arc on the map.
This line connected several large villages in the north of the county, and he was preparing to attack these villages.
Gather enough food and supplies to prepare for the coming war and winter.
They began to divide their forces and Su Hu took the lead. He was only responsible for eliminating the resistance of the gentry.
Su He led the new battalion and the baggage behind and took advantage of the march to train the new battalion.
The new military camp is composed of more than 600 captive military households and more than 400 young men recruited from the guards.
Their total number exceeds the current military strength.
Su He was personally responsible for the training of new recruits. He was better at training soldiers and in order to prevent the army from becoming a warlord.
Generals do not have the right to recruit troops independently, so they do not have the capital to become a warlord.
From now on, all new recruits under Su He's command will be trained uniformly and then added to various units on the front line.
The army marched quickly on the loess land, forming a long khaki dragon.
The red Great Wall military flag is extremely dazzling.
There is also a new flag next to it with a new slogan on it.
"Kill the gentry and divide the fields. Eat enough and have clothes to wear."
…
Su Hu marched hurriedly and came to the first village they encountered on their way home.
When the villagers saw someone entering the village with a knife, they all hid in their homes and shivered.
However, it was discovered that this army did not disturb the people, and went straight to the homes of the gentry in the village.
Several of the gentry's servants wanted to resist. The soldiers lined up and charged forward with spears. The servants who dared to resist were killed, and the other servants surrendered.
Su Hu tied up all the prisoners and controlled the gentry to occupy the granary.
He took the soldiers to rest, drink water and eat, and the soldiers also took the opportunity to go to the toilet.
When Su He came to this village, Su Hu went to attack the next village.
By keeping wounded soldiers and replenishing logistics, his troops can always be at their peak.
Even if the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion attack them, they still have the strength to deal with them.
Su He led a large army to this village.
Gather the villagers, directly explain his identity, and display the slogan.
The first thing Su He did was to open a warehouse to store grain.
He took out a small portion of the grain from the gentry's granary and distributed it equally to the villagers.
After distributing the grain, Su He burned the usury notes and land deeds in the gentry's home in public.
Su He asked people to bring out the gentry and his family members.
Directly let the villagers report the crime, judge the gentry's crimes, and execute them immediately after the trial.
He finally talked about the treatment for recruiting young men. Even if they are not soldiers, as long as they go with him, they will provide enough food for the whole family.
This condition is very attractive to the poor farmers in the village.
Most of the poor peasants' families had run out of food, and they immediately followed Suhe in rebellion.
Some middle peasants and rich peasants who had blood feuds with the gentry and reported on the gentry also joined Su He's team, fearing that the court would come back for revenge.
Other middle peasants and rich peasants had a lot of food stored at home, but they had various concerns and did not join.
These people do not account for a large proportion among the villagers and are very few in number.
Su He let the newly recruited young men eat half full, and used ox carts, donkey carts, wheelbarrows and other tools to transport the captured materials to the next village.
Just like this, one village after another, after five days, Su He and the others successively attacked thirteen villages.
Transporting a large number of people and supplies back to Sujia Village.
When they attacked the last three villages, the gentry had already received the news in advance and ran away, leaving only warehouses full of grain.
When Su He tried the gentry from ten villages, only one of them had a commoner, and he was a new scholar.
He doesn't act arrogantly at ordinary times, and even lends food to the villagers when they encounter difficulties.
The gentry Su He did not put him on trial. He was targeting a group of gentry who had committed many evil deeds, not an individual.
Even bad bamboo can produce good bamboo shoots. Such people are too rare.
Su He returned to Sujia Village and immediately sorted out the information to understand what happened to each unit.
The officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion who he was worried about showed no reaction at all.
The county government did not attack the transport troops returning from the guard post.
The Yimenbao gentry and servants wanted to follow the official army.
Wang Jinshi wants to avenge his daughter and son-in-law.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the official army, they immediately retreated to Yimen Fort.
…
In the reception room of the main house of the county government, the county magistrate Chen Chengren was appeasing many gentry from the villages in the north of the county who had fled to the county seat.
When the gentry learned about the miserable situation of the gentry in the north of the county, they rushed to the county seat with their families and did not dare to live in the village.
The gentry in the county were also extremely afraid. After they joined forces, under the leadership of Wang Jinshi, they formed a group to find County Magistrate Chen Chengren.
Chai Ruhai, a gentry, said with a tearful voice: "Your Excellency, Mr. Wang Jinshi.
You have to make the decision for me! The thieves in yellow are really nothing. My father-in-law’s family, my uncle’s family, and the whole family were all killed by the thieves in yellow.
If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't have survived.
I couldn't take away the more than 10,000 shi of food stored in my house, and they were all snatched away by thieves in yellow clothes."
Wang Jinshi also spoke up and said: "County Magistrate Chen, we cannot stop the thieves in yellow with our strength alone.
The rebels have been too ruthless against the gentry. These rebels are all the same, only focusing on causing harm to us gentry.
Liu Yingyu, the commander of Shangluo Road in Shaanxi Province, wiped out the rebel Wang Daliang in April this year. He is still cleaning up the remaining bandits in Hanzhong. He is not far from us.
Sun Rujun was the garrison at Dashan Pass, and Zhao Mingsheng from Fengxiang Qianhu.
These two generals are closest to us and can rescue us at any time.
Especially Zhao Mingsheng from Fengxiang Thousand Households, who had three thousand servants and soldiers, and repeatedly repelled the bandits who harassed Fengxiang.
If a crazed rebel like the bandit in yellow appears in the territory, we must rely on the power of the imperial court to encircle and suppress it with all its strength."
Chen Chengren looked at Wang Jinshi's appearance as an elder and taught him how to do things.
He wanted to walk away, but thought about it and held back.
He was a marginalized and small role in the Donglin Party, so he was sent to such a barren place as the county magistrate.
He is not strong enough in this county and has no way to fight against the local snakes.
"Wang Jinshi, I sent an official document to the prefect.
I just received a reply.
Under the coordination of the governor of Shaanxi, Mr. Yang, the commander commanded the entire province's troops to encircle and suppress the rebel "two kings" and strive to recruit or expel them.
Now that we cannot spare any troops to deal with the small rebels, we can only rely on ourselves to protect ourselves.
Sun Rujun, the garrison at Dashan Pass, is a member of the Chu party. He will not send troops to rescue us without the force of the Ministry of War.
Liu Yingyu, the commander of Shangluo Road in Shaanxi Province, wiped out the rebel bandits and suffered heavy casualties.
He is currently recruiting young men to rest in Hanzhong.
Even if he could go north, the Governor asked them to go to the north to eliminate the rebels instead of wasting time on the yellow-robed thieves.
Now we only rely on ourselves to protect ourselves, as long as we can delay the Governor to wipe out the "two kings" rebels.
There will be a large number of officers and soldiers going south, and the little yellow-clad thieves can be easily destroyed."
After Wang Jinshi heard this, he knew that the court could not rely on him in the short term and could only rely on the gentlemen to save themselves.
