For Gao Xing, Fighting the Landlords is really an interesting thing. It can not only frighten the underlings with ulterior motives, but also generate financial income. Expenses can go to sea.

Ding Hao and others conspired to rebel, of course not only their top ten families, but also many other small and medium-sized families, the failure this time is a good excuse for Xing Xing to punish them, the confiscation of family property is naturally necessary, and the culprit will inevitably go up guillotine.

However, for those family officials who participated in the rebellion, Gao Xing did not punish the crimes in the name of the governor. Instead, Cui Jishu and Zhang Diao, the governors of the two provinces, conducted a public trial under the supervision and cooperation of Jin Yiwei with the "Temporary Agreement" , What is emphasized is fairness and justice, and the most important thing is to let the law penetrate into the hearts of the people, not just talk on paper.

You must know that although Gao Xing's prestige in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces is unmatched, he is not a god, and he can't care about everything in detail. Therefore, under the seemingly clear and clear government, there are still dark affairs. Therefore, being happy is also somewhat helpless, as long as it is not too much, just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

After all, it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, especially the idea of ​​official status has already been integrated into people's blood in China. What a thorough understanding.

After more than half a month of investigation, coupled with the information collected by the beggar gang and Yeci, there are nearly a hundred families involved in the rebellion this time, and Gao Xing also took the opportunity to tie up some families who behaved pervertedly and try them together.

Slowly speaking, the aristocratic family has a lot of evil things. As the supreme commander, if you really want to plant and frame them, it is not easy to deal with some people, especially when you are stationed in Jiangsu. He will be dealt with in accordance with the law, and now he has a firm foothold in Jiangsu Province, split up and disintegrated, and wiped out all the opposition in a flash.

Trees fall and monkeys scatter, walls fall and people push, Ding Hao and other families are happy to investigate to the end, but those who are related will never tolerate it, and other irrelevant people are naturally at risk. to intercede.

The reason why the aristocratic families are so bullish and domineering is that the treasury has a lot of money and food, there are people in the court, and the relationship network is intricate. Now they are happy to confiscate their family wealth, dismissed from office, and uprooted all opposing forces with a thunderbolt.

Perhaps in the past, Xinghua had to take into account the stability of the government, but Xinghua Academy was established two years ago, and elementary schools were established in various counties. Xingxing's ideological culture has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. lowest point.

On November 21, Gao Xing established the No. [-] Prison in Shandong Province in the northern suburbs of Xinghua City, under the unified management of prisoners who violated the law and were sentenced. People of the big family are all accomplices, and the death penalty is inevitable.

For a person who is used to being rich, living with nothing is a real torment and punishment, and it also allows them to show their last light and heat, which they happily call waste utilization.

On the first day of December, Dugu Yongye's army arrived late and arrived at the city of Xinghua. Shandong in December was already very cold. Drill into human bones.

He knew from the time Gao Xing occupied Xinghua City that sooner or later there would be a big war. Naturally, this big war did not include the war initiated by Gao Chuo and Gao Anaku. In my eyes, the generals who are really worthy of attention, besides Lao Tzu Sui Wang Gao Changgong and Wang Lin, are Dugu Yongye and Fu Fu in front of him.

Although he was very happy and wanted to lead his army into Yecheng and pull Gao Wei down from the throne, he also knew that the time was not yet ripe. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty was surrounded by powerful enemies, once a large-scale civil strife broke out, it would be for the enemy to take advantage Therefore, the purpose of being happy is very clear, that is to stick to it. As long as you stick to Xinghua City without losing it, keeping Dugu Yongye from going east is the greatest victory.

As for the south, Gao Changgong has long been disappointed with Gao Wei, full of resentment, and naturally violated the imperial decree. Gao Wei wants to punish him, so let him come here to see if anyone in Northern Qi is brave enough to attack him. There are two places in Shandong and Jiangsu. In Huaizhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is very safe.

Therefore, only Dugu Yongye's [-] troops are the only ones that Gao Xing really needs to worry about. Dugu Yongye fought head-on and fought hard in the wilderness.

Although Gao Xing only has two provinces, he is not afraid of the war of attrition. Not to mention that Gao Xing has hoarded countless supplies in the past two years, even from the surrounding states and counties, countless money and food poured in every day. .

Think about it, exquisite wooden furniture, convenient soap and matches, expensive mirrors and fine wine, cheap and comfortable and complicated clothes, cheap and high-quality books and paper, etc., which one is not a commodity that is in short supply, not to mention the common people’s appreciation for it? These things are very fond of, and businessmen and gentry pay more attention to the rolling wealth behind them.

Procrastination, happiness can afford it, but Dugu Yongye is not necessarily.

When Dugu Yongye called for battle in Xinghua city, Gao Xing just showed his face, ordered Lu Zhishen to guard against death, and then went down to the governor's mansion.

Although the city of Xinghua City is not as majestic and tall as the city of Yecheng Luoyang, it is not easy for Dugu Yongye to take it down with an army of [-]. Not to mention the large bed crossbow developed by Lu Ping. Sharp weapons such as catapults, even improved gunpowder, are definitely enough for Dugu Yongye to drink a pot.

The advent of the steam engine and the construction of the steel plant not only allowed Gao Xing to arm the army to the teeth, but also made great progress in the industry. Although he is still unable to produce sophisticated firearms early, the primary cannons are no longer a problem, especially shells. The gunpowder is filled with excellent formula, and the power of the artillery can be imagined.

It is a strategic policy issued by Gao Xing to keep the walls clear and clear the fields. For three full days, Dugu Yongye was allowed to do his best to curse and clamor, but the Shandong Rebels were unmoved, while the city was full of traffic and bustling. Fei Fan, without any feeling of nervousness and depression, happily defeated the invading enemy army several times with ease, which has already built up enough confidence for the people in the city.

On December [-]th, Dugu Yongye ordered the siege of the city. Thousands of swordsmen and shields lined up in a dense formation to cover the ladder. The siege vehicles and other siege vehicles rushed down the city, followed by two thousand crossbowmen. Responsible for cover, at the same time, a hundred catapults were also lined up in front of the formation, ready to throw boulders towards the city.

Dugu Yongye's command is determined, the soldiers under his command are also in order, and their morale is high. However, Dugu Yongye has suffered a lot from his happy catapult. Before Dugu Yongye's catapult showed its power, a rain of stones fell from the sky above the city, not only destroying most of Dugu Yongye's catapult, but also killing and injuring many soldiers.

Look at the black crossbow arrows on the top of the city, the thickness of a baby's arm, flying out amidst the creaking sound of the noose, and slamming into the dense camp of swords and shields. Connected together, the crossbow bolts are so powerful that almost every crossbow bolt has to penetrate six or seven people to stop the castration.

Behind the bed crossbows are the archers from the top of the city. Thanks to the favorable location and advanced equipment, their shooting range is extremely astonishing. After the sound of "swish swish swish", a large number of crossbowmen sent by Dugu Yongye fell down. The bright red blood paints the sad and beautiful flowers on the vast land, which is shocking.

In just a quarter of an hour, Dugu Yongye's first round of offensive was resolved, all the thousand-sword shieldmen fell down, and the archers suffered heavy casualties. As a last resort, Dugu Yongye had no choice but to call back his troops and look at the desolate land , listening to the wailing and screaming of the soldiers under his command, Dugu Yongye's face became more and more gloomy. He had heard that Gao Xin was not good at getting along with him. The suppression effect is too obvious.

The ratio of offensive and defensive losses in siege battles is generally three to one, but in Gao Xing, this ratio is likely to increase a lot. There is no way, because he is rich in resources, and the lethality of weapons is too great.

Dugu Yongye frowned, feeling very heavy in his heart. Through the short battle just now and observations these days, he has discovered that the Shandong Rebel Army has strict discipline, quick response, and fearless death. It is definitely comparable to the elite soldiers under his command .

In order to guard against the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dugu Yongye only led [-] elites when he came east this time. However, judging from the current situation, the hope of storming and capturing Xinghua City is already slim. For a while, Dugu Yongye was gone Strategies, the soldiers under his command were a little bored by the head-on blow from the Shandong rebels, so he ordered the army to return to the camp to rest and make a long-term plan.

For three consecutive days, Dugu Yongye launched no less than ten attacks, but all of them ended in failure. No matter whether he was switching from reality to reality, fast or slow, or a sneak attack in the middle of the night, he was happy to deal with it freely and as stable as Mount Tai.

Gao Chuo and Gao Anagong served as two captains, and they almost exhausted all the young people in the surrounding states and counties of Shandong Province. Even if Dugu Yongye wanted to recruit, he didn't have many people. There was no one, let alone food. As a last resort, Dugu Yongye could only set the supply location in Yanzhou, which is just west of Zengnan Qingzhou, and sent his confidants to guard it.

On December [-]th, Yanzhou suddenly missed, and Dugu Yongye's supply line was not cut off. Faced with the shortage of food for the entire army and no backup, Dugu Yongye had to issue an order to withdraw his troops and retreat to Qizhou even if he was good at dancing.

Although Dugu Yongye strengthened the defense of Yanzhou, he could not prevent the city from being attacked from the inside and the outside. The first killer personally performed the knife, severely injured the commander of the Yanzhou garrison, and killed the governor of Yanzhou with poison. Under the instigation of the beggar gang, the people who had already suffered from the oppression of the powerful and powerful rose up one after another.

When the Yanzhou garrison was in a hurry to deal with the turmoil in the city, [-] iron cavalry arrived suddenly like heavenly soldiers. With the cooperation of the city's response, they rushed into the city, quickly defeated the garrison, and took Yanzhou into their hands.

Dugu Yongye withdrew his troops for the time being, and before he had time to celebrate, Zhang Shunzhi came suddenly and brought him a piece of news that made him angry: Gao Changgong, the king of Sui Dynasty, was assassinated while inspecting West Chuzhou and was seriously injured. The situation is not optimistic.
