Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 41 The People Fleeing in Groups
Fuzhouwei, one of the four guards in southern Liaoning, is located in the north of Jinzhouwei and borders Jinzhouwei. The border between the two states is the area where frictions between Houjin and Fuliao forces often occur.Fuzhouwei was garrisoned by Li Yongfang, a Han Chinese, while the northern part of Jinzhou was garrisoned by Mrs. Yang of the First Infantry Battalion. The two gradually became incompatible.However, the recent friction between the two sides has rapidly heated up because the people of Fuzhouwei fled south.

In Niujia Village, which is relatively close to Jinzhouwei, a team of Han soldiers belonging to Li Yongfang's department rushed over after receiving the information, but at this time Niujia Village was already empty, with only a few families left.The remaining families were forcibly brought before the captain by the soldiers.

"I am Niulu Huang Weiyao of the Han army under the command of General Li Yongfang. Let me ask you, where have the rest of your Niujia Village gone?"

"Master Jun, other people in Niujia Village have heard people say that the people in Jinzhou live and work in peace and contentment. They packed up their parcels and fled south last night. Our families couldn't stop them. Look, Niujia Village is empty, and we are the only ones left. !” said the rest of the Niujia Village aggrievedly.

Huang Weiyao was taken aback when he heard this: "You said that all the hundreds of families in Niujia Village have fled south?"

"That's right, the Jin people have heavy taxes and recruit strong men. They have robbed us of all our winter food, and our people have no choice but to flee to the south."

"Then why didn't your family flee with them?"

"Isn't this afraid of being caught by the military men? I heard that a few days ago, dozens of people from a village fled south and were caught by the golden soldiers, and they all beheaded!"

Hearing the complaints from the people in Niujia Village, Huang Weiyao frowned.

"Boss, what should we do? Up to now, several villages under our jurisdiction have run away, and now so many people have run away from Niujia Village. If the group of golden people find out and hold us accountable, will we Beheaded too?" Huang Weiyao's soldiers became worried.

Someone even stepped forward and picked up a remaining villager in Niujia Village: "You Niujia Village ran for your own life, but you killed us!"

"Put down the fellow!" Huang Weiyao shouted.He deeply understands that hundreds of villagers in a village fled south collectively at the risk of being beheaded, which shows that these days are really unbearable.

The soldiers heard Huang Weiyao's order, so they put down the villagers unwillingly: "But boss, what should we do next? We have lost hundreds of villagers, and we will definitely be punished."

"Damn, if the common people can't live on, can we live on? Those gold masters are so mean to us, won't we be scared again one day?" Some soldiers murmured, "Could it be that we have to flee south too? ?”

Huang Weiyao couldn't help thinking when he heard the soldiers muttering by chance.

"Let's go, let's withdraw our troops and return to the city. No one can leak the news here for the time being, as long as the Niujia Village is still full." Huang Weiyao said, "When you return to the city, everyone bring me three days of dry food and gather immediately. "

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow orders!"

In Li Yongfang's mansion in Fuzhou City, Li Yongfang was lying on the Taishi chair in the backyard, resting with his eyes closed.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

"Shaotai, is there any good news?" Li Yongfang didn't open his eyes, and knew that the person who came was his second son Li Sutai.

Li Sutai walked up to Li Yongfang, bowed his head and whispered a few words to Li Yongfang.

"Zhuzi Ganer!" Li Yongfang slapped the armrest suddenly, no longer calm, his eyes burst out with anger.

"He, Huang Weiyao, went too far. He even dared to defect with his subordinates. Not only that, he also instigated Zhao Xiang, another Niulu, to defect. A total of more than 500 people from two Niulu were taken away. Father, we How should I deal with it?" Li Sutai was shocked when he first received the news.

This is the largest defection incident in the first year of Tiancong!Once Huang Taiji finds out, the Li family and his son will be in trouble.

"How long have Huang Weiyao and the others been gone?" Li Yongfang asked.

"About nearly two hours."

"Then they haven't escaped from Fuzhou City. You go to rectify the other six Niulu in Fuzhou City. I will personally go out and punish these two traitors on the spot!" Li Yongfang said angrily, "We The left camp of the Han army only had eight Niulu, and they took away two Niulu, what shall we give to a few Baylors!"

"Yes, I'm in a hurry for other Niulu immediately!" Li Sutai replied.

Yang Tai, the battalion commander of the First Infantry Battalion stationed in the north of Jinzhouwei, received a request for help from Huang Weiyao and Zhao Xiang, which probably meant that Yang Tai could go north to meet them.

"Could this be Li Yongfang's trap, pretending to send two people to join us, but actually it's a bitter plan, and take the opportunity to wipe us out?" Some counselors of Mrs. Yang thought about it.

"It's possible." A counselor agreed, "It's too bizarre no matter how you think about it. Two Niulu are going to join us? Recently, Houjin established the Han Army Zuoying and Youying, and Li Yongfang's Han Army Zuoying Eight Niulu, two of them defected, wouldn't Li Yongfang lose a quarter of his troops?"

"The more we think about it, the more suspicious it becomes. We'd better report it to the military lord, and let the military lord make a decision before we accept them." Another counselor proposed to hand over this problem to Chu Yun to solve.

Mrs. Yang was upset: "Two Niulu came to join us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Li Yongfang. Even if it is a fake surrender, we have to try! I have decided, I will take the first battalion to collect them."

"The Battalion Commander should think twice. Even if the Battalion Commander wants to take them in, just send a squadron. The Battalion Commander can't put himself in danger. If this is a trick by the Jin Man, we have a lot of room for maneuver. "The counselor said.

"The two of them have 600 people. We only send a squadron of dozens of people. I am afraid that we will lose face. Grandma, that is 600 people. After we recruit them, we will have two battalions in the first battalion." Strength! If I don’t want to accept such a large piece of fat, then I won’t be called Mrs. Yang. Come, each of you will bring me [-] rounds of bullets and three days of dry food. Let’s go! The transport team will pack it for me. Spare shells and bullets!" Mrs. Yang slapped her thigh, not bothering to pay attention to the group of advisers.

Mrs. Yang's counselors were dumbfounded. The officer himself was clearly envious of Huang Wei, Yao and Zhao Xiang, and he didn't care whether it was a conspiracy by the Jin people.

"Hey, the rest of us are going to set off with the army. I will write a letter to Jinzhou City later. I believe that the military master will send reinforcements to support us after receiving our letter. If the military master is here, he is considered a golden man It's nothing to us." A counselor said, his words were full of trust in Chu Yun.

In the Liao army, Chu Yun, who brought new guns and artillery, is a god.
