The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 109

Jiang Tao directly selected [-] Black Tiger Guards, rode fast horses, and ran directly to the county seat.

Announcements of Anmin have been pasted in conspicuous places along the way, and the people have not been displaced. Jiang Tao ordered, and the military division was very efficient.

When he came to the county seat, he saw that the four gates were tightly closed and the city was heavily guarded. After some negotiations, he entered the city.

Wei Donglai hurriedly came to greet him, and Jiang Tao praised loudly in person: "Great military adviser, well done!"

Wei Donglai smiled softly, and said like a spring breeze: "The general is absurd, the county is safe at this time, but there are still many wealthy landowners in the countryside, and the subordinates are very worried, but they can't mobilize troops."

"Well, Jiang Shi is about to bring five hundred recruits to reinforce. As for the matter of the local rich man, it can be postponed, but is there someone with a particularly powerful influence?" Jiang Tao knows that killing people alone is not enough, he has to stabilize the situation, and then sort out carefully. Step by step is the feasible method, after all, you can't eat two fat people in one bite.

Besides, we have to say hello to others, and kill anyone who is rich, mainly to kill bullies, powerful and evil gentry. It is the right way to win the hearts and minds of the people while taking money and food.

"That's the only way. This subordinate underestimated the hardships and dangers of this trip before. It really shouldn't be. Come on, send food and grass to the front immediately, and send a hundred soldiers to escort each!" Now that reinforcements are coming, Wei Donglai can also mobilize troops. The horse guards the food delivery team.

After arranging the business, Wei Donglai frowned and said: "The main trouble in Jinzhai County is in the villages. Their power should not be underestimated, and they are deeply intertwined. Generally, they form villages to protect themselves and have armed forces. The most famous ones are Jinji Village, Hongchong Village, and Gaoshan Village, all of which have more than [-] soldiers, but according to reports from Tanmalai, they have no intention of attacking the county for the time being."

Jiang Tao suddenly had a headache. In this way, the separatist forces are not small, and each of them occupies a dangerous place, so it must be difficult to deal with. If it only occupies the county seat, it is useless if it cannot gather tens of thousands of people.

If they are forced to disarm them, it may provoke a civil uprising. It seems that the matter of beating local tyrants and dividing the land will be postponed.

By the way, I have surrounded them anyway, as long as they don't unite to fight against the Black Tiger Army now, they will not be afraid, and they will be even less afraid when the Black Tiger Army is free in the future.

Jiang Tao wanted to understand, and said seriously: "Now let's seal the Quartet first, ignore them, and then recruit the Black Tiger Guards. Whoever jumps the best will do whatever it takes to concentrate our forces on them. The most urgent thing is to defend the territory of Jinzhai County. The three main roads and the county town, especially Yixiantian, there are more than ten thousand green battalion soldiers in Lu'an Prefecture tens of miles away, um, we will build a stone city there, and it must be fast, as long as we keep the Manchu Qing Tartars Three axes, it will be easier in the future."

"The general is right. Now that more than a thousand young men have been captured, they just happened to be transferred to help. After the building is completed, they will be released without charge, and everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. They should not make mistakes."

Wei Donglai said happily, secretly admiring Jiang Tao in his heart, although he was born as a bandit, and he was ignorant, but he was born with a big picture, clear thinking, even worse than himself, he is really a genius.

"Okay, I don't know how it was seized this time?"

The only flaw now is that the elite navy has not returned. There are only [-] guards and [-] land and water recruits in the base. Jiang Tao asked casually, but he was slightly worried.

"Jinzhai is a small county, but all the tyrants are so rich that they got a total of 3000 shi of food and grass, 500 taels of gold, more than [-] taels of silver, and some other materials. They also captured hundreds of horses. Now you can train them for a while. A cavalry team of [-] men."

Wei Donglai frowned, took out a list and handed it to Jiang Tao.

"Okay, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately send an order to the county magistrate Cheng to pay attention to the safety of the base. This general will go to Yixiantian to have a look. After the Black Tiger Guards come, they will be dispatched by the military division. You can choose 200 knights and train them temporarily. , the rest of the horses will be distributed to tigers and leopards, and will not be collected at night." Jiang Tao rubbed his temples, stood up abruptly, and said lightly.

"It's getting late, the general should take a rest for the night. Anyway, when there is no rush, Jiang Wushang will report the movement ahead every hour. Since they killed and retreated hundreds of cavalry, there has been no movement in Yixiantian for the time being." Wei Donglai Looking outside the door, he sincerely suggested.

"Hehe, it's okay, I won't be able to sleep today if I don't go and see, all the military and political affairs of the county will be handed over to the military division, so I'll do my work." Jiang Tao clasped his fists and said affectionately.

"No way, this is a matter for the subordinates, please rest assured, general." Wei Donglai was startled, and hurriedly bowed his body to return the salute.

"Haha, let's not be too polite, everything is kept silent, the military division can just do what it wants, and this general will definitely support it. Once this matter is over, I, Heihu, will go back to the base to vigorously develop the navy. It is not a black man to be passively beaten." The tradition of the Tiger Army." Jiang Tao laughed boldly, nodded again, and strode away.

Taking advantage of the night, a group of people rode fast horses, Jiang Tao waved his whip, feeling very happy, hey, by the way, what happened to Suishi Ridge?

Two thousand elites should be able to hold on.

..............................

At this time, Wang Hu, the brother-in-law of the secret guard Liu Yuxing, escaped the secret sentry of the Qing army, and came to Suishi Ridge with the support of a few playmates.

Jiang Wuhui flipped through the tokens of the dark guards, and immediately lost his suspicion. When he asked, he was taken aback. It turned out that there were more than ten thousand Green Battalion soldiers stationed in Guangzhou, and there was a possibility of a sneak attack on Suishi Ridge at any time.

He settled Wang Hu, ordered the messengers to return to the base immediately to report the enemy's situation in Suishi Ridge, and recruited Jiang Bao, the leader of the Bloody Guards, and Qian Zong, the leader of the Orion Camp.

They didn't know that Deputy General Wang was coming day and night, and they hadn't received Jiang Tao's military order yet.

"It's just about defending, the meaning of the bird is to rule according to the rules. Let's attack the Guangzhou camp at night and kill him without leaving any." Jiang Bao stared at the leopard's eyes and said murderously.

Qian Zong has become addicted to sneak attacks recently, and he also booed: "It's so true, even the Orion camp in a big mountain can be turned over, let alone a small military camp."

"No, one general specifically ordered not to attack before he left, and the other one has an enemy army of tens of thousands, which is not easy to defeat. Moreover, according to the hidden guards, this time the chief general is extraordinary, so we can't be careless."

Jiang Wuhui shook his head again and again, and sternly refused.

After all, he was the main general, and asked again: "How is the captain who guards the trail over there?"

There are two roads to cross Sushi Ridge, one is the narrow path, and the other is their side.

The guard on the trail over there is none other than Xue Yiwei's Captain Han Yong, and Jiang Bao grinned and said, "Haha, it's okay, this man is not good at martial arts, but he has the demeanor of a young master. He is strict in running the army, which is very reassuring."

"Well, that's good. Commander Qian will send more than a hundred elite archers to help, and Han Yong will be the main general. The rest will strictly guard the main village of Suishi Ridge and practice hard. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will follow the military law. Discuss." Jiang Wuhui nodded and said seriously.

"Follow the general's order." Jiang Bao and Qian Zong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, the scouts who went out to inquire about the news came to report: "The scout horses of the Qing army around Suishi Ridge have been attacked and killed, and there is no one left. There are more than a hundred corpses in total."

Jiang Wuhui's eyes widened, and he praised loudly: "The Orion camp is really extraordinary, but the Qing army must have a trick, otherwise they wouldn't have sent so many scouts. It seems that we can't completely defend, but we can send a small group of elite soldiers to attack. Investigate the movement of the Qing army, and kill the enemy, well, every day, send fifty elites to lurk out of the camp, and if you encounter a large Qing army, return immediately, and don't engage in battle."

"You can rest assured, commander, hehe, if you come a few more times, I'm afraid the Qing army will have no scouts to send." Qian Zong laughed, very confident.

"Well, no matter what, the key is to defend and train your subordinates. Well, the two of you will go down and prepare immediately."

Jiang Wuhui nodded approvingly, and finally felt relieved.
