Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 225 (225) Great victory against bandits

On the Weishui.

As far as the eye can see, it is covered in silver.

Seeing that everything was ready, Ji Cheng put his finger to his lips and blew a few sharp whistles.

Immediately afterwards, another whistle sounded in the distance.

Ji Cheng said in a deep voice, "Archer!"

Immediately, a row of Ice Army bowed their bows and took arrows.

"Whoosh... Whoosh!" Waves of arrows shot towards the bandits.

The arrows rained down very densely.

For a while, the sound of crying and weapons kept lingering in his ears, endlessly.

The incident happened suddenly, and the gangsters' nests in Wutou were still celebrating the New Year. Seeing the murderous intent coming, they had to rush to fight.

Although thousands of strong men were temporarily organized to resist, they were quickly defeated in the face of the sharp arrows that were shot at them.

In just one day, the officers and soldiers concentrated the superior forces of the three outposts and wiped out the upper, middle and lower three core bandit nests.

The other sentries swept the bandits' lairs separately.

But the bandits are very familiar with the terrain, even though Ji Chen laid a net, more than [-] strong men who escaped from the bandits' lairs fled to Jiulian Mountain, and resisted the danger...

Jiulian Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west. The mountains are high and steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, in order to concentrate its forces, Jicheng did not deploy an intercepting official army to the east. Once the bandits fled eastward into the depths of the mountains, it was almost difficult to continue chasing and suppressing them.

These fleeing bandits are all strong and strong, and they will definitely cause disasters to the people in the future.

If Jicheng temporarily ordered to send troops to intercept from the east, it would take half a month's journey.

Moreover, when the officers and soldiers climbed up the cliffs, there were rolling logs and stones on the bandits, which was tantamount to using human lives to cushion them.

As the admiral, Xia Ou's mind is running extremely fast.

Her eyes stared at the admiral, the candlelight cast a glow on her white jade-like face, and her beauty tightened.

But a beautiful person may not have a good brain.

She tried to suggest, "Husband, do you want to try again with a big Kongming lantern?"

"The Big Kongming Lantern has already been used once, and if it doesn't work, it will be used again." Ji Cheng vetoed it.

Xia Ou drooped her little head, continued to use her brain, and said, "That's right, those bandits are not stupid, they just ran away when they saw the Kongming lantern falling.

Hey, if they all use the disguise technique, they won't be too busy..."

"Have it!"

Suddenly, in the little lady's unintentional words, Ji Cheng had a flash of inspiration.

He hurriedly arranged to select seven hundred strong men, took off the bandits' clothes and put them on, pretending to be fleeing bandits, and came to the cliff under the night.

It is definitely too late for the disguise technique, but there is still time to change clothes.

At the same time, he arranged for Mu Yuetan, who was wearing the skin mask of Chi Zhongrong's younger brother Chi Zhong'an, to teach the Ice Army a few words of bandit lingo...

In the cool night, the Ice Army put on the clothes of the bandits, greeted each other with the real bandits, and cooperated with the slang words, which was enough to confuse the real ones.

For a while, the bandits didn't know the truth, and it was difficult to cast the rolling log and stone.

But the fake bandits took the opportunity to climb up the cliff, cut off the escape route of the bandits, and joined forces with the officers and soldiers guarding outside...

Early the next morning, Ji Li ordered the officers and soldiers to launch an attack from above, and the bandits were defeated again.

From the seventh day of the first lunar month to the eighth day of the third lunar month, the officers and soldiers mopped up 38 bandit nests, captured and beheaded 67 bandit leaders, large and small, more than [-] bandits, and nearly [-] bandits were captured.

The Sanxi Bandit Suppression Campaign lasted two months, and more than [-] large-scale bandit suppression battles were carried out successively. By the third day of March, the bandits were basically wiped out.

Hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled knelt on the side of the road, crying and surrendering, willing to be appeased by the imperial court.

Ji Cheng called these bandits who surrendered and were captured "Xinmin".

"The Doctrine of the Mean" "Everyone who has flesh and blood respects his relatives", that is, "the benevolent loves others" in "Mencius", Xinmin has the meaning of being close to the people.

Jicheng paid great attention to the resettlement of new people, and it was spring, a good time for planting every year.

On the occasion of the great victory in the suppression of bandits in Zhangnan, he issued the "Information to the Xinmin" and sent people to distribute condolences.

Order the recruiting officials to properly resettle Xinmin, distribute land, donate silver, and assist them in purchasing cattle and seeds, so that Xinmin cannot delay spring sowing.

Immediately afterwards, Jicheng distributed salt and rice for free to the new people who lacked food and clothing.

And he rewarded Xinmin who made meritorious deeds.

For this reason, the governor's yamen specially allocated tax money to Chongyi Bailiang merchants.

According to the current market price, the price of one stone of rice is less than one tael of silver. Although having these silvers cannot make Xinmin rich, it can at least provide food and clothing.

At the same time, the imperial court's awards also arrived, rewarding the meritorious ministers with 20 taels of silver each.

As a person who has seen big rivers and waves, Xia Ou naturally doesn't care about the mere 20 taels of silver.

She has been taking a cut from the ice business, and just one summer can be enough for her to eat for several years!
With a wave of his little hand, he bought rice grains for the 20 taels of silver and distributed them to the Ice Army.

As for those casualties, it was double.

But this time, after learning about the little lady's deeds, Ji Cheng said, "Only by suffering the hardships can one become a superior person. Don't fight, don't show off, don't show off, and be considerate in dealing with people. Once your husband is happy, you can't be fanned to death."

"Isn't this the words of a generation of virtuous and guarded sons?" Xia Ou was holding the early-ripe watermelon in the hot spring village, digging and eating it with a spoon.

She was very happy in her heart, and her mouth was sweet, so she was very happy.

After hearing what the admiral said, he stopped his movements and said, "Your husband thinks that we are on the cusp of a crisis, and he is afraid of making people in the court jealous, so keep a low profile?"

"I just received a secret letter from Yanjing. I was seriously ill in the first month of this year, and I haven't recovered in the past few days."

Ji Chen looked at his little lady's beautiful eyes, she looked like a wolf cub that hadn't grown up yet, it was exactly the same as the cunning when she punched someone with a pink fist.

At this moment, Xia Ou seemed to smell some danger, and couldn't help but feel hairy all over, and her little neck shrank.

She turned her eyes slightly, and said seriously, "Husband, Xiaoou understands."

"It's all about avoiding the limelight. By the way, Mrs. Gu and her mother, Nurse Gu, have been found by their husbands, and they are being locked up in the prison to reunite with Xia Yu!"

Ji Cheng raised his hand and rubbed her little head, the fluffy hand felt good.

Before Xia Ou waited for him to touch it enough, she turned her head to avoid it.

Her beautiful apricot eyes were radiant, and her cheeks were slightly flushed because of excitement, just like a newborn hibiscus flower.

Great, here's your chance to be cool!
She couldn't wait to get up, and said, "Husband, you are busy with your work, Xiaoou will go and have a look, Ang~"

Xia Yu, whom the Gu family devoted all their efforts to cultivate, became Chi Zhongrong's concubine, and all expectations and efforts were in vain.

And she, a lowly girl who has suffered so much, was not only canonized as the princess, but also became the wife of the court's new nobleman. I don't know how the Gu family will feel now?

If she doesn't go to Mrs. Gu's face to be frightened, or to sting the other party, her success will be like walking in a night of brocade clothes.

Now, the dust has settled, if she doesn't show off her might in front of Gu Shi and others, she can suffocate herself to death.

Hey, her layout is a bit small...

Ji Cheng looked at the back of the little lady running away, and hurriedly asked Qu Wu to follow and protect her.

He knew that according to the temper of the little lady, he must show off.

However, as the man who can provide behind the little lady's publicity, he feels very fulfilled in his heart, and he is more happy than winning a battle...

　In Chapter 1 of "University" compiled by Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi, there is the word "Xinmin". Xinmin means to change one's mind and become a new person.

　　The matter of rewarding meritorious ministers with 20 taels of silver in the article was not made up by Yun Yun, it is recorded in history, it is this little silver.

　　In fact, in many articles, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are sold, which are all fake. In ancient times, the people who saw silver were few, and most of them used copper coins.

　　By the way, I will update it tomorrow, I will go to bed tonight, Ann, my dears...
