Chapter 239 Kill without mercy! The sorrow of farmers
"This Hua Rong is arrogant, has no king and no father, and is lawless!" Qin Ming was furious. He had a strong and violent temper. When he heard what the prefect said, he immediately comforted him and said, "Sir, there is no need to worry, even if Liangshan troops go to attack
Qingfeng Village, if you want to capture it in a moment, it will not be easy.
The Qingfeng Village is built with high walls and deep walls, and it is drilled frequently. For three or five days, the Liangshan bandits will definitely not be able to defeat them!
I am willing to collect elite soldiers, turn around and attack Liangshan, and go straight to Huanglong. If Liangshan is captured, Lin Chong's group of bandits will definitely lose the morale of the army."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! This is a wonderful plan!" Murong Yanda was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Hearing Qin Tongzhi say this, I feel a lot better. Qin Tongzhi
, my brother died tragically, Hua Rong attacked from behind, he is a bad thing worse than a pig or a dog!
If you are able to capture him, I will make arrangements and ask the court to take credit for you."
When Qin Ming heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Hua Rong is now a rebel. I will order my troops and horses now, have breakfast, and march immediately!"
"Okay! I will arrange wine, meat and dry food for you soldiers."
Qin Ming thanked him, then returned to the camp, ordered his troops in person, and commanded 6,000 elite soldiers, including 1,000 horsemen and 5,000 infantry.
These are all elite soldiers, not ordinary people.
Not to mention Huang An's group, Qin Ming arranged everything and led the army outside the city.
Murong Yanda in the outer city also made preparations. He laid out steamed buns at the temple outside the city, set up large bowls, and filled each one with wine.
After having enough wine and food, and a big mouthful of cooked meat, we are ready to set off!
With more than 6,000 people, the flags were drawn, especially the cavalry troops in front. It can be said that the flags were densely covered, and they were buzzing in the wind, and their spears were like hemp.
The Qin and Ming dynasties arranged their troops and horses, went out of the city to get flags, led the troops on a red flag with the inscription "The general of troops and horses is in charge of Qin's control", and led the troops to march.
Magistrate Murong saw Qin Ming coming out of the city in full armor. He was indeed a hero.
The red tassel on the helmet was flying with fierce flames, and the orangutan's brocade robe was stained with blood.
The horse is sitting down like a haechi, with a mace densely embedded with copper nails.
When angry, the eyes will widen.
Nature is like thunderbolts and fire, tiger generals are Qin and Ming.
"Okay! I have such fierce generals in Qingzhou, so why worry about big things happening?" Murong Yanda was overjoyed and in a very cheerful mood.
During this period, the bandits everywhere were in chaos, which really put him in a bad mood.
However, if we can get rid of the thieves on the beam!
The leader of Liangshan used to be the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, and he had a life-or-death relationship with Lieutenant Gao!
As long as he captures Lin Chong, Murong Yanda will definitely be promoted and make a fortune, which is another blessing!
Thinking of this, Murong Yanda smiled with satisfaction and felt quite happy.
Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming saw Magistrate Murong admiring the troops outside the city, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to take the weapons and dismount to meet the Magistrate.
After saluting, the prefect took the cup and gave some words to the general manager: "Qin Zongzhi, he didn't say anything. This time it went smoothly, and I will play a triumphant song early. I am waiting to take care of you and go to Tokyo in person to do it for you."
Please take credit for your control!"
Qin Ming hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I will work hard and win in one battle!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qin Ming immediately mounted his horse and led his elite troops straight to Liangshan.
He knew clearly that Qingfeng Village could not be captured easily. If he wanted to do it, he would go big and destroy Liangshan in one fell swoop!
That is the most important achievement!
"You all work together and as long as we win a big victory this time, I, Qin Ming, will not treat you badly!"
........
The situation in Liangshan these past six months is different from the past.
In the mining area, there are small settlements clustered together. Thick smoke is constantly billowing. Earthen kilns made with various local methods are densely packed everywhere.
In some places, the fire was soaring into the sky and burning all the time. Some of these people were prisoners of the government and soldiers, mixed with local craftsmen and ordinary people in Liangshan.
There are over ten thousand soldiers in Liangshan, but there are many people bringing their families with them. Not everyone can be a soldier!
The remaining people who have skills will become craftsmen, and more will go to mining, iron smelting and so on.
The people here all belong to a leader named Huang An. The tempered pig iron will be sent to the forging workshop for the manufacture of weapons.
For example, bows and arrows, plate armor, swords, spearheads, etc.
Iron ore is the core element of war. Of course, some people can also make agricultural tools.
These days, Master Lin Chong has sent many special drawings.
Among them are plows, axes, etc. for plowing the fields, which will be gradually distributed to Xiaodong Village and even the surrounding territories.
For more than half a year, Liangshan has repeatedly defeated the government troops, and the government troops have basically stopped entering for thirty to fifty miles around. Since then, Liangshan's power has naturally penetrated out, occupying many villages, towns and populations, and conducting direct governance and rule.
Take Xiaodong Village for example. In previous years, once there was a disaster, it would be a village where people would die. As long as it survived one winter, some people and some things would not be seen in the next year.
The changes in Xiaodong Village over the past six months are most surprising.
In addition to wheat, crops such as beans and hemp are grown in the village. However, these are not very eye-catching. What shocked the farmers the most were potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Qian Er, the head of Xiaodong Village, is thirty-two years old this year. He is obviously a middle-aged man, but years of wind, frost and farming have made him look like a fifty-year-old man.
He had dark skin and was busy farming all day long, doing endless farm work. He also did this in the past, but he was so busy all year long that he almost starved to death.
Since Liu Dashan's death, Liangshan has appointed villagers to specifically guide the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes. These are planted in some nooks and crannies, and they do not occupy much fertile land.
Everyone is thinking about getting more food, which is positive.
Of course, when they first planted the seeds, everyone was just thinking about getting some money for their efforts, and never thought about how good the harvest would be.
I heard that Xiaodong Village was the first to start planting these crops. Anyway, Qian Er didn’t think much about it and just planted it!
Anyway, it doesn’t take up fertile land. When the harvest comes, Qian Er will be shocked!
The grain was paid to Liangshan in proportion. Combined with the sweet potatoes and potatoes, the family had a bumper harvest. A rough calculation showed that it was enough to feed the family and last for more than a year!
He now has three sons and two daughters at home, including an old mother and a wife.
Especially the sons, when they are growing up, each one of them can eat me up.
But looking at the mountains of food at home, Qian Er realized for the first time that he finally no longer worried about starving to death.
Today, he has been repairing farm tools in the morning, some of which were sent directly from the village. They are all farmers. They know that these things are the lifeblood of farmers. If they are broken, the efficiency of farm work will be greatly reduced!
If they buy it then, given their current conditions, it won't work at all.
He was squatting on the threshold, tinkering with a knife, and his wife said to him: "I saw soldiers and horses mobilizing in the village this morning. I'm afraid there will be a war, and it's best to win! If we win, our lives will be easier in the future."
Qian Er smiled and scolded: "You are a woman, but you seem to know a lot now."
"With Liangshan here, we are like gods today. After paying the grain to the higher authorities, we can still have so much left over. Do you dare to think about it again?" The daughter-in-law said in surprise, "My brother's side suffered a disaster last year.
Disaster, I would be so jealous of this."
When Qian Eryi heard this, he saw that his wife's face looked strange and said, "What? Your brother is here?"
The daughter-in-law immediately hesitated and felt a little embarrassed: "He came and said he wanted to borrow food, but I didn't pay attention to him."
Qian Eryi heard this and said: "What are you talking about? My brother-in-law is here, how do you treat guests?"
"I gave him food, just to keep him full, but there are so many people in my natal family, and you have worked hard for a year, I can't just leave our family alone and give all the food to my brother, right? Then who am I?
?" the daughter-in-law said silently.
Qian Er remained silent. The wife was speaking harshly, but she was telling the truth. After all, starving people to death was no joke.
It is true that their family has food now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
If everyone borrows some, how will they explain it if something changes?
"Last year, many surrounding villages were hit by disasters. I heard that many people wanted to come to us to make a living, and they even planned to come to us to farm." Qian Er said this with a bit of pride on his face.
The wife lowered her voice and said, "Then I will let my brother go back first?"
Qian Er said: "Let's go, I'm going to see my brother-in-law."
The wife complained about her brother, but when she heard this, her eyes flashed with excitement.
"I guess I was really hungry. I ate three bowls of rice and roasted three sweet potatoes myself. This made my stomach a little bloated. I had to walk outside to eat. It was like a waste of food."
The daughter-in-law said this with a stern face. After all, the man is the head of the house.
She was married and asked her family to give her brother food, but she didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
If her man is unwilling, she won't be able to say anything.
While he was thinking about it, Qian Er said: "We are all one family. Your brother suffered a disaster. How could he see them starving to death? And your nephews."
