Chapter 217: The Reinforcements Are Here! The Officials Are Here!
Chapter 217 Reinforcements are coming, officials are coming!
While there was a bloody storm along the Gaoliang River, Li Yunze was handling the case.
For such a big event as the recovery of Yanyun, the front line was in a critical period of fierce fighting, but Li Yunze, an official, was handling the case.
Needless to say, we know that this case or the people involved are unusual.
The case is indeed unusual. It was a Song Dynasty person who defected to the Jin Kingdom and took the initiative to come back and collude with the gangsters to cause destruction.
As for the person who defected, he may not have a good reputation in this world, but in history, it was Liu Yu who once served as emperor.
Historically, Liu Yu was the prefect of Jinan Prefecture. He killed Dadao Guansheng and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. Later, he was supported by the Jin Kingdom and became the emperor of the Puppet Qi Dynasty. It was a glorious time to move the capital to Bianliang City.
Of course, his throne and the state of Qi are not recognized by orthodoxy.
In his hometown of Fucheng, Li Yunze summoned many local people to watch and personally interrogated the captured Liu Yu.
"Liu Yu." Looking at the little old man tied up in front of him, Li Yunze folded his hands and asked simply, "Can you plead guilty to betraying the Song Dynasty and paying gold?"
"What a joke." Liu Yu, who was pinned to the ground by his shoulders, stubbornly raised his head and glared at Li Yunze, "Song Wudao, I'm going to invest money to find a way to survive. How can I rebel and surrender?"
Li Yunze sighed after hearing this, "Song Wudao? How Wudao?"
"Robbing my land, plundering my property, and slaughtering my family." Liu Yu sneered repeatedly, "I'm just trying to survive."
The people around him were talking a lot after hearing this, and even some young students from the county school showed anger on their faces, and it seemed that they even wanted to speak out for him.
"Grab your field." Li Yunze laughed out loud, "Where did your field come from?"
"It comes from hard work and savings."
"Sophistry." Li Yunze simply sneered, "Hard work alone can't buy your family's thousands of acres of land."
He signaled to the many imperial students accompanying him to show the evidence to the people one by one.
"During the Yuanfu period, your family only had 40 acres of Susukaku land. In the first year of the Jingkang period, your family had more than 3,000 acres of farmland. More than half of it was obtained by instructing successive county magistrates to plunder it from the people. The rest was left.
Those are the interest money your family lends,
They forced the people to come here with mortgages."
The Tai students brought a group of local people and cried on the spot about how their family was forced to live in ruins by the Liu Yu family. They also had all the land deeds, land deeds, and other IOUs.
After this display, the people around him looked at Liu Yu with no mercy at all.
"It's not about robbing your family's land, but it's about returning the land that was robbed from your family to the people who were robbed."
Li Yunze became more and more emotional, "There are still all kinds of evidence and witnesses. If not, you guys with turbans are best at confusing right and wrong. There is no way that the descendants of the traitors will be able to plead guilty and try to reverse the case in the future."
"Your family's wealth was obtained by force and blood money. This kind of ill-gotten wealth will be taken away naturally."
"As for your family." Having said this, Li Yunze simply stood up and looked around at the people, "The Liu family is running rampant in the countryside, preying on the common people. Anyone who has been bullied in the family, please come forward!"
Following Li Yunze's roar, hundreds of onlookers came out, staring at Liu Yu with burning eyes.
"It's just a district magistrate, just a county." Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yunze was really depressed for a moment. "There are so many people like Liu Yu in the world. Wearing the immortal turban in the Song Dynasty, it is unacceptable in heaven!"
One Liu Yu could harm so many people in Guizhou, so how many headscarves in the Song Dynasty could harm the people all over the world.
No wonder the Song Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of millions, was destroyed by a mere few hundred thousand Jin people.
Why did the common people of the Song Dynasty, who had suffered injustice and humiliation, risk their lives against the Jin people for the officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties and the turbans? Why?
Since the people are unwilling, it means that the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasties and the turbans will challenge the Jin army in a single fight, and it is natural that they will lose miserably.
In other words, when the Jin army went south, the Zhao and Song officials and the headscarfs, the so-called Gongtianxia people, had already been abandoned by the people of the Song Dynasty and the leaders of Guizhou.
If it weren't for the fact that the Jin army was ignorant and slaughtered and looted countless cities everywhere without distinction, successfully raising itself to the main contradiction, Wanyan Gou wouldn't have had anything to do.
The failure of the Jin man was that he took too much of the spotlight and took the initiative to take the main conflict on himself.
"As for you." Li Yunze, with his hands behind his back, walked up to Liu Yu and looked at him condescendingly, "Collude with thieves and bandits to form a return group, massacre the people and do all kinds of evil."
Having said this, he pointed at the countless local people surrounding him, "Everyone here is your enemy!"
Liu Yu took the money, food and manpower given by the Jin people. After returning, he gathered local ruffians, bandits and horse bandits everywhere to cause destruction, making the entire Fucheng people miserable.
Now, it's time for him to pay for his crimes.
Li Yunze, who had his hands behind his back, winked at the imperial ministers who were holding Liu Yu down.
The Imperial Guard immediately pulled him up and pushed him into the crowd of common people.
"This beast is left to you to deal with."
The next moment, Liu Yu was overwhelmed by the angry people, and only his pitiful wailing and begging for mercy could be heard intermittently.
After one stick of incense, there was no sound.
Li Yunze waved his hand again, and the captured gangsters, bandits and bandits were beheaded one after another.
Without the support of a local coward like Liu Yu, these little minions would be nothing to mention.
Their ferocity and cruelty can only be reflected in the face of unarmed ordinary people, who are completely vulnerable to real strong force.
Li Yunze was not in a hurry to go to war, but combed through all the prefectures and counties one by one like an iron comb.
The scholars no longer had any dignity to speak of, the temples of wealthy businessmen were severely attacked, and the landlords who owned countless lands were even shouted for beatings.
The most unlucky ones are the rogues and bandits from all over the country.
The scoundrels may still be thinking about achieving the glory of Han Shizhong from rogue to captain, but now they are greeted by the real iron fist.
All the scoundrels from all over the place were swept away, tied with ropes and thrown into cannon fodder camps.
As for the bandits and horse bandits in various places, there is no need to mention them. They are simply wiped out on the spot.
It doesn't matter whether you are from Jiuyu or Jiuwenlong, if the army surrounds you, you will be a special group who will not leave anyone behind.
As for the subordinate officials in various government offices who colluded with these scum, they were all centralized and dealt with, and their positions were replaced by retired veterans.
Many heroes who were famous in the world just disappeared without a trace when the army passed by, leaving only the legends about them.
The situation with Han Shizhong is similar, and he is more ruthless than Li Yunze.
Many government officials in prefectures and counties were directly punished by Han Shizhong for crimes that everyone took for granted in this era.
The reason is also very simple. Many veterans in his army are tired of years of war and want to find better jobs to live a better life.
As the original top boss of the Western Army, Han Shizhong had unshirkable responsibility.
More than 100,000 troops on both sides swept all the way northward in a leisurely manner. Finally, at the end of December of the second year of Jingkang, they defeated the Jin Army's blocking troops and crossed the Baigou into the Yanyun Land.
At this time, Yue Fei's troops had been trapped by the Gaoliang River for more than ten days.
The Jin army that besieged the Yuejia Army launched dozens of trial attacks and three large-scale general attacks.
But the final result was that the Yue Family Army was always helpless.
The Gaoliang River has long been frozen, and the surrounding environment is a wilderness. The Yue family army only established a camp in the wilderness, but it was impossible for the Jin army to break through.
On the one hand, the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army has declined too much. After all, its real main force had already had its backbone broken by Li Yunze in the previous battle.
On the other hand, it is because the combat effectiveness of the Yue Family Army has increased rapidly, and its strength has far exceeded the Jin Army's imagination.
Just like Wanyan Wushu once became angry and mobilized the elite Jin army to storm an outlying camp. After successfully breaking the camp, the Song army guarding the camp did not collapse as expected. Instead, they rushed up without hesitation and fought with
The golden soldiers who invaded the camp fought
.
The Song army did not lack courage, and they were not bad at all in array training.
The most exaggerated thing is that the Song army was extremely well-equipped. Almost everyone had an improved infantry armor. Its strong defense even made the Jin army feel desperate.
Swords, guns, bows and arrows are basically ineffective. Only heavy weapons such as axes and hammers can have a killing effect.
But not everyone can use this kind of heavy weapon.
As a result, when the Song army's reinforcements arrived, the Jin army, which had suffered heavy losses before entering the camp, was driven out again.
The scale of this battle was small, with only a few thousand people invested by both sides.
But the impact it brought was such a shock to Wanyan Wushu that for the first time he had the idea of 'Let's negotiate peace as soon as possible'.
Song Jun, who once existed like a pig or dog in the eyes of Jin Jun, finally grew up and became a being that Jin Jun feared.
The fact that the Yue Family Army was able to persist for so long despite being surrounded by enemy forces several times larger than its own must be inseparable from the ability of its coach Yue Fei.
Yue Fei, with his decisive command, arranged the more than 70,000 Yue family troops in an orderly manner, and the morale was always maintained at a reasonable level, and they were not afraid of collapse due to the overwhelming strength of the enemy army.
And they had already made various preparations before arriving.
Not to mention anything else, a large amount of coal and compressed dry food were enough to allow them to persist in the encirclement for a month.
If Li Yunze's reinforcements have not arrived after a month, there is no need to continue fighting.
When the sky was dark early that morning, groups of Song troops came out of the camp and began to cut ice on the bank of the Sorghum River more than ten steps away from the camp.
They are auxiliary soldiers, each carrying a bucket.
The auxiliary soldiers of the Jin army on the other side of the river were also fetching water, and had no intention of coming to attack.
It's not that the Jin army didn't know the benefits of cutting off water, but that the Song army had eight oxen crossbows and divine arm bows on the wall. Their previous attempts had already caused them heavy losses, and no one would die in vain again.
The auxiliary soldiers struggled to cut through the thick ice, and then used buckets to carry water back to the camp.
Whether for drinking or cooking, tens of thousands of troops cannot do without water.
Compared to the Jin Army, which can be said to be fighting locally, the food here for the Song Army is even better.
The fire-headed soldiers chopped up the hard bacon with kitchen knives and threw it into the pot. They broke up the dry food made of oil, spices and flour and threw it in. Then they sprinkled salt directly into bags, and then sprinkled a large amount of dehydrated water.
Vegetables, cooked for a quarter of an hour, a hearty and delicious breakfast is ready
it is done.
The sergeants who had already gotten up started lining up according to their respective establishments to prepare for meals.
If nothing else goes wrong, the Jin army will start a routine attack after the meal.
After this period of fighting, the Jin army has lost its vigor, and its daily attacks have become symbolic performances.
There was no way, the Yue Army's tenacity made it impossible for the Jin Army, which was greatly weakened, to bite.
The cheers came from far away and gradually attracted the attention of all the sergeants.
Immediately, the sergeants waiting to eat also cheered.
"Reinforcements are coming! Officials are coming!"
