Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

Chapter 15 Suppressing Bandits 3

With Yang Xing's assistance, Wen Yu is now a lot more relaxed every day.

Speaking of it, he blamed himself, originally he thought it didn't matter if he had something like a master or not.It may be that the "turtle prime minister" image of a corrupt official in modern TV dramas is too popular, which leads to his lack of favor for this kind of person.

But since he took office, he has known it. No wonder the county magistrate has to hire one or two staff members.Because there are too many things to deal with every day!Even with Mei Hongzhi's assistance, he was exhausted.

After all, the current yamen integrates justice, administration, taxation, agriculture, commerce and water conservancy, etc.

Not to mention too many things, it may also be due to the different way of thinking of modern people.Wen Yu found that it would be fine if it was a major event, after all, everyone followed the laws and regulations of Ming Dynasty, but he could not communicate with his subordinates on some small details.

Wen Yu herself is also blending into the environment little by little, but she is too obvious because she is always afraid of the suspicion of the people around her.Now with Yang Xing's assistance, he can finally take a break.

After recruiting some people from Shenfeng Village, everyone is obviously more confident about this bandit suppression.In addition, Xu Jing deliberately let everyone get in touch with Shenfeng Village, unknowingly revealed a lot of daily life in the communication.

Gradually, everyone discovered that bandits were no different from ordinary people. Everyone also had to eat, sleep, grow vegetables and water, but occasionally went down the mountain to rob.In this way, under Xu Jing's deliberate guidance, Min Zhuang in Mengyang was not so afraid of suppressing the bandits, and was even a little eager to try.

The reason is that in the early stage of the bandit suppression, Wen Yu had promised that everyone would be rewarded after the successful suppression of the bandits.Xu Jing took advantage of this strength to practice hard on the crowd, and finally they looked like a regular army.

At this time in Menghu Village, You Huohu was having a banquet with a group of his subordinates. They robbed a passing caravan a few days ago.Originally, You Huo promised the other party that he could save money and avoid disasters, but he accidentally saw a woman in the car on the other side. Hu was shocked and asked the other side to offer the woman. All of them were killed, and the woman was robbed and returned to the village.

That woman is a coincidence, in You Huo's eyes, she is not a chaste and strong woman, she was originally a firework woman, but was later bought by an old man as a concubine, and this time she went back to her hometown with that old man.At first he refused to give in, but in the end Youhuo threatened to reward her to his subordinates, so he was frightened and begged for mercy.

Most of the women on the mountain are village girls captured by Menghuzhai from the bottom of the mountain. You Huohu has never seen such a charming beauty like Chunqiao. be a concubine.

The people in Tiger Village have great opinions on this matter. Now the government has released the wind to suppress the bandits, and there are not many supplies on the mountain. They have looted all the surrounding villages that can be looted.Although there is still a lot of gold and silver in my village, but now the whole city of Mengyang is under martial law, and there is no way to spend it.

The entire Tiger Village is tightening their belts to get by. At this time, if you have a big banquet, what will you do in the days to come!But You Huo is cruel, and when his subordinates criticize him harshly, everyone dares not speak up.

"Come on! Drink! Today is my tiger's big day. I also know that my brothers have been aggrieved these days. After my marriage is over, we will go down the mountain to fuck the big one in a few days!" You The tiger blushed from drinking.

A bunch of subordinates below also responded one after another: "The village master is right! The government is an idiot! Didn't we beat you before and cry for your father and mother!"

"So what about the inspection department! When the time comes, we will hide in the mountains! What will happen to us!"

"I'm going down the mountain this time to snatch a big girl with yellow flowers back! Those in the village are tired of playing..."

"I fucking want to grab two!"

The scene is really a group of demons dancing wildly, that is to say, Mengyang is a small place, and the government did not act before.Just these hundreds of mobs can be dispersed in other places within a month.

In fact, the gang in Menghuzhai didn't have much confidence at first.It's funny to say that they basically didn't do anything in the previous government siege, they just hid in the mountains and closed the gate of the village.

Most of the casualties of the militiamen were bitten by insects and snakes in the mountains, lost their footing, were injured by traps, and fled in battle.

It was also this siege that gave Tiger Village great confidence, and felt that the government was not worth mentioning, just when everyone was full of wine and food.

Suddenly there was a shout outside, and You Huo hurriedly called someone to find out what was going on.

After a while, the subordinates came to report, and it was the Mengyang Inspection Department who was waiting for a group of people to attack.You Huo and the others were shocked, and half woke up from the wine. They never expected that the government would call up in broad daylight without making a sound.

You Huo asked: "No, the gate of our village is hidden and very stable! How did those dog officials get in?"

The person who reported cautiously replied: "Yes... it was Mrs. Chunqiao who gave wine to the brothers guarding the gate, saying that today is a day of great joy, and asked everyone to drink openly, and then opened the door of the cottage when everyone was drunk. door……"

You Huo was furious: "It's unreasonable! What about that bastard! Take my knife!"

"Back to the village master, Mrs. Chunqiao has already taken advantage of the chaos and fled away. Now the people from the government have reached the second gate, and the brothers can't hold it anymore!"

You Huo's eyes were red, looking at the drunken subordinates beside him, he knew in his heart that the situation was over.

At this time, he calmly said to the people around him who were still awake: "Brothers, we are different from other villages. What we have committed is the crime of killing officials ordered by the court. Even if we surrender, we are afraid that we will die. Why don't we all go together?" Fight hard, fight a bloody path, maybe you can save your life."

Although what he said at this time is naturally the best solution, those subordinates don't think so. After all, "Mediocre people get discouraged when they are frustrated, and they are proud when they win."The mob in Menghuzhai had been scared out of their wits at this moment, so they were not willing to go out and fight the government.

Seeing this scene, You Huo sighed, and with a few of his loyal followers, he followed them with their weapons and killed them in the chaos.

After walking a few steps, he encountered a group of subordinates from his village.You Laohu still wanted to mobilize, but those people on the opposite side shouted as soon as they saw it: "You Laohu is here! Hurry up and take his head to get promoted and get rich!"

Before You Huo and his party could react, they were hacked to death by random knives, and many people were beheaded before they died, and the whole village was bloody.

The inspection department also cut some people at the beginning.After deterring the bandits, Xu Jing followed the countermeasures discussed with Wen Yu before, comforting and intimidating them.It was agreed that if they caught the tiger or those few leaders, they would be able to commit crimes and make meritorious service regardless of life or death. Not only would they be exonerated, but they would also be rewarded.

You Huo has always been harsh on his subordinates, and there has been a long history of resentment in the village, but now it seems that the floodgates have been opened, and all kinds of dissatisfaction are pouring out.

Finally, when Xu Jing and the others counted the corpses, they found that nine out of ten of them were killed by each other.

In this way, Tiger Village, which endangered one side, fell apart.

After the bandits were suppressed, more than [-] women were rescued from Tiger Village. Most of them were tortured beyond human form, and some of them died soon after being rescued.

Not only that, the inspection department also confiscated more than 1000 taels of silver, some antique property, some rice noodles, vegetables and meat, most of which were placed in the tiger's private treasury.

Wen Yu rewarded part of the silver taels to the militiamen who suppressed the bandits this time, and left part to the helpless women.The rest has been brought back to the county, and now the county finally has some spare money, so it won't be as tight as before.

As for the bandits who surrendered halfway, they were all beheaded by Xu Jing on the grounds that they had done bad things.

The only pity is that Chunqiao, who made a great contribution this time, has never been seen.Since she didn't want to show up, Wen Yu couldn't force it. When she received Chunqiao's secret letter, she hesitated for a while. Finally, after some investigation, she confirmed that there was such a person. Then she discussed with Xu Jing and made a plan. Be prepared to retreat at any time.

Fortunately, the plan was successful, and now that the banditry in Dongshan has been completely eliminated, Wen Yu can finally let go and govern Mengyang.

The author has something to say: Although I used several thousand words to write about this bandit suppression, in terms of scale, I didn’t mention rebellion. There were many mountain bandits and water bandits recorded in the Ming Dynasty in history, and the one with the lowest number was all There are more than 1 people.If it hadn't happened for such things as killing local officials, this kind of bandit with a scale of [-] people would generally let him destroy himself, and it would all depend on the local officials.

There will be another chapter later, I'm sorry everyone has too many things recently, after calculation, I owe about ten chapters, I will make up for it little by little
