Chapter 314 Atonement Camp


Chapter 314 Atonement Camp

After hearing what Wu Yong said, Zhao Zhen also realized that he was the magistrate of Jimi County in the Song Dynasty after all. Killing officers and soldiers openly was no different from rebellion and would inevitably attract The army conquered. After all, I have never thought about actually facing off against the imperial army. I just want to dig into the corners of the imperial court and earn more gold and silver. Of course, training my abilities and improving my professional level are fundamental.

Zhao Zhen also nodded and said: "What the academic said is reasonable. It would be best if we could instigate him to rebel. I'm afraid he would agree to it in person and regret it later. Tomorrow, my brother Pei Xuan and I will take Bai Zhang and go to Shishi Jie Village. Save this man if you can. The sergeant cannot delay receiving rewards for his meritorious service. Brothers Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong also succeeded in killing the general and breaking the formation this time."

Pei Xuan also said: "That's right. , morale can be boosted but not discouraged. Those who have done good will be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes will be punished. That's all."

Zhu Wudao: "Officials, more than a thousand local soldiers have been killed, and Jeju Prefecture is afraid that there will be follow-up. After all, they are the mainstay of the family. With so many people, I’m afraid there will be trouble in Jeju Prefecture.”

Wu Yongdao: "It is also said that marching in the fog is dangerous, and the whole army is often wiped out. After all, we must be careful of the government inciting the emotions of the villagers and hatred of Liangshan County. I am afraid that the senior officials will have to go to Jeju with Brother Shi Qian Please find out more about it so that we can deal with it."

Zhao Zhen nodded and sent someone to invite Shi Qian. He said: "Pedant, we just occupied Shijie Village, and Jeju Prefecture sent so many troops. If we continue to occupy villages everywhere, how can Yanggu County stop?"

Wu Yongdao : "Officials, don't worry. This place is under the jurisdiction of Dongping Prefecture after all, and it is not accessible to official channels. With the boss covering up, there is no problem. On the contrary, Yuncheng County and Jeju Prefecture should pay more attention to it."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "It is not difficult to capture the village, but it requires garrisoning troops and the soldiers are scattered. Wouldn't it be easy for others to take advantage of it?"

Zhu Wudao: "Officials, now every village is occupied. There are rural soldiers, ranging from more than ten to seventy or eighty. The villages Duan Jing lives in are not far from Black Tiger Temple Town. As long as the fog is dispersed, they will naturally become one. The coal mine in Miao Town now has to house so many prisoners for mining, and the number of garrisoned soldiers will inevitably increase..."

After hesitating for a while, Wu Yong continued: "Officials, Brother Duan Jingzhu from Black Tiger Temple Town, who has the ability to look at horses and train horses, is a bit of a waste just to be the deputy commander of the infantry."< br>
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Zhu Wu, do you have any ideas?"

"Official, now that the racecourse in Xiaoping Mountain has been built, why not transfer Duan Jing to live there, in addition to the command? The soldiers are also in charge of the racecourse."

"If this is the case, Black Tiger Temple Town must choose another suitable man to lead the garrison."

Wu Yong said: "Officials, the two camps in Liangshan have the least fighting. As the reserve team of the county, in addition to the two heroes Shi Xiu and Liu Tang, there are six lieutenants. It is better to send the two brothers Du Qian and Song Wan down the mountain to garrison Hei Humiao Town.”

Zhu Wudao: "Yes, one general and two lieutenants are enough. After all, Liangshan is in the hinterland and surrounded by water, and all transportation is by ship."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt that it made sense. He opened his mouth and said: "Then according to what brothers Xuexue and Zhu Wu said, the three of them will be re-adjusted to their positions."

···

The next day, Zhao Zhen and Pei Xuan followed what was said. Okay, take the rice noodles, cloth, etc. for reward, take a big boat, and follow Ouyang Shouting to Shijie Village with Bai Zhang, Bai Zhi and other officials.

Shi Qian, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Duan Jingzhu also acted in accordance with the orders they received.

When Zhao Zhen and others entered Shijie Village and met with Li, Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, this is a good plan. This fight is easy to kill. From now on, I will feel relieved around Shijie Lake."

Ruan Xiaowu Zhao Zhen said: "Young official, I am a rough guy. How can I know any tricks? It's all thanks to brother Ouyang's clever plan that we can achieve this great victory."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, you don't have to be too modest. Brother Ouyang also praises me a lot." Brothers are brave, and the credit for killing generals in battle must not belong to others."

Ruan Xiaowu grinned after hearing this.

“How’s that guy Huang An?”

Ruan Xiaowu said: "He disappeared last night. I was thinking about cutting off his head and sending it to Baishi Manor."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "Find a place and kill Guan Jianxiang together with him." Yong, let’s all bury him.” Ruan Xiaowu responded.

Zhao Zhen turned to Bai Zhang and said: "I wanted to ask my brother to come and treat this guy, but I didn't want him to die. Didn't the sergeant have a few bumps? Brother, go take a look. If nothing happens, let the farmers in the village take a look."

"My wife will also follow my brother to look around."

The two of them agreed and, accompanied by the sergeant, went to get a diagnosis.

Pei Xuandao: "Officials, I will record the merits of the sergeants first and give out rewards early." After that, he went to work with a group of scribes.

While Zhao Zhen was talking, Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong also muttered and saw Zhao Zhen looking at them. Ruan Xiaowu said: "Master, I heard from Brother Ouyang that we are going to reward the village farmers this time?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiaowu seemed to have something to say, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Of course If this is the case, it’s not all about the brother’s face. After all, he is risking his life to lead the way. If this is the case, who will be willing to die in the future?” Ruan Xiaowu listened and said no more. Word.

"Brother, where are the prisoners now? Take me to see them."

Ruan Xiaowu said: "They asked me to move to the high ground in the lake. More than ten speedboats patrolled, and no one was allowed to leave. "Take it off."

As he said that, he asked Zhao Zhen to get on the boat and took the sergeant to a high ground. When Zhao Zhen looked, he saw a crowd of people in a reed swamp, listlessly on the high ground. Crowded on the ground.

Seeing a boat approaching, there was a commotion on the high ground. When Zhao Zhen reached the high ground, the prisoners moved back cautiously.

Just listen to Ouyang Shoutong shout loudly: "Listen, everyone who has a position, regardless of the captain, prison officer, team leader or flag leader, all stand up and stand on the left hand side. The big-headed soldiers stand on On the right hand side. Those who conceal their identities will be killed without mercy. Those who report meritoriously will be exempted from hard labor and become good citizens."

On the battlefield, they saw Ruan Xiaowu looking ferocious and murderous. The captives looked at the seventy or eighty people who came ashore. Even though they were ten times the number on the other side, no one dared to resist. They just looked at everyone silently, hesitating among themselves.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong saw each other, and each pulled out a cane and beat the one who hit him on the head. Wherever they passed, the captured sergeants ran away with their heads in their hands.

After two and a quarter of minutes of tossing, the prisoners were divided into two waves. Ruan Xiaowu was sweating profusely and shouted: "The man with the highest official position came forward to talk."

Under the eyes of everyone, a big man walked out trembling. Before he could reach Zhao Zhen, he knelt down and said, "The villain is Xie Shun, Marquis of Du Yu. He has the highest position among these people. I wonder what the general's orders are?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Xie Yuhou, Why come to Shijie Village? ”

Jie Shun said tremblingly: "Sir, it's not that the villain deliberately concealed it. The villain received the military order and trained with Huang Tuan to send troops. He doesn't know why he came here."

"Whose military order?"

Xie Shun looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong, who were staring at him closely, and said resignedly: "Master Magistrate. I really don't know about the other villains. Only Huang Tuanlian is the confidant of the Magistrate. What is his purpose?" Only Tuan Lian knows. "

Zhao Zhenyou called out all three of them and interrogated them individually. What the three said was no different from what Xie Shun said.

Zhao Zhen saw that he could not find any names, so he said to the four people: "You invaded the territory without any reason and were captured today. You will be punished with hard labor. Please select 200 people and put them into the atonement camp. Every day Take the lead in the battle, and those who have survived three times will be left to your own devices. Those who do not want to join the army will be sent to the mines for ten years before they can be released."
