Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chen Dehai turned his head and looked at the guards behind him, "You guys follow me!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Dehai's five personal guards followed behind Chen Dehai, and ran out from the path that Li Xiaosan left.

Before leaving, Chen Dehai turned his head and glared at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked at Li Xiaosan, and asked a little unconvinced: "He is the general soldier of Shanxi Town, why did you let him go?"

"Do I still need to ask for your opinion?" Li Xiaosan looked at Liu Yu jokingly.

"Okay, bring them all back to me, and if anyone dares to escape privately, shoot me directly!" Li Xiaosan pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, then turned around and led them towards Shanxi Town.

Liu Yu looked at the direction Chen Dehai was leaving with an expression of disbelief.

He really couldn't figure out why he let the general soldier of Shanxi Town go.

When Li Xiaosan escorted these people towards the west gate.

At this time, Zhao Wen had already led the Chinese army into Shanxi Town.

Song Hu and Liu Wu also led their respective troops into the towns and cities of Shanxi.

Shanxi Towns and Towns have now been completely taken over by Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen stopped in the open space in front of the Zongbing Yamen, riding on his horse and looking at the Zongbing Yamen in front of him.

At this time, all the people in the Zongbing Yamen had already run away when Chen Dehai fled, and now only an empty shell remained.

Zhao Wen jumped off the horse, looked at the general's yamen, and said to the messenger behind him: "Now send the order, and let me release all the soldiers in your hands to maintain the law and order in Shanxi Town.

Remember, I will arrest anyone who takes advantage of the fire and loot, and keep them to repair the railway.There is also the city wall. The corpses in these places must be cleaned up. Although it is already autumn, you still have to be careful. I buried the corpses in these places deeply to avoid epidemics. "

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he walked into the general yamen.

The soldiers of the personal guard battalion also hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen, and stationed in the general yamen.

At this time, the General Military Mansion also began to become chaotic.At this time, the family members of the servants in the mansion hurriedly rolled up the valuable belongings in the mansion and rushed outside.

But when they just rushed out of the General Military Mansion, they met Xuanzhen soldiers and horses coming towards this side.

"Everyone put down the things in their hands and return them to me." A hundred household officials held up 56 punches and looked coldly at the relatives of the servants who rushed out, and shouted in a cold voice.

These servants couldn't help but panic when they saw the menacing Xuanzhen soldiers with live ammunition and armed guns.

Under the intimidation of Xuanzhen soldiers, they fled to the mansion again.

"Lock the gate for me, and at the same time report this situation to the Chief Soldier." The Hundred Household Officer pointed at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion and shouted loudly.

When the gate was locked, the hundred household officials left more than 50 people to guard the Zongbing Mansion, and then led the soldiers to go around.

After Song Hu and Liu Wu's soldiers entered the town of Shanxi Town, they also began to throw out the soldiers in their hands.

The people hiding in their homes looked at the soldiers coming and going on the street through the crack of the door, their faces were full of panic.

In the eyes of these people, these soldiers are rebels and rebels.

From ancient times to the present, as long as the city is breached by the rebels, ordinary people like them almost have no good end.

But as time passed, they discovered that these rebels were somewhat different.

Zhao Wen was sitting in the hall of the Zongbing Yamen, Song Hu and Liu Wu rushed over after a short time.

"grown ups!"

The two gave a military salute to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen nodded, and said: "We have captured the town of Shanxi now, but the military forts and military camps near the town of Shanxi have not yet been attacked. Now you lead your troops to take Shanxi Town as the center and go around Call and try to completely hold the entire Shanxi town in my hands within two days."

"Your subordinates take orders!" Zhao Wen sent the two of them out again before they had time to sit down.

But not only did the two of them have no trace of resentment, but they were also extremely excited.

Now is the time for Zhao Wen to expand his strength and conquer the world. If he can continue to make military exploits at this time, his future achievements will definitely not be small.

Now they are not afraid of fighting at all, but afraid of not fighting.

Song Hu and Liu Wu walked out of the yamen, gathered up their forces, and headed towards Shanxi Town.

"My lord, what should I do with the family and relatives of the general soldier in Shanxi Town?"

A messenger stopped in front of Zhao Wen and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen thought for a moment, and said, "These people are of no use to us. I have already planned to release the general soldier of Shanxi Town. Let these family members be released as well."

"Obey!" The orderly replied, and retreated hastily.

"Go and find me the yellow book in Shanxi Town." Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu who was standing beside him.

Zhao Daniu nodded, and led a dozen or so guards outside.

"Listen, people in Shanxi Town, we are soldiers and horses of Xuan Town, and we are an army of justice. We will not interfere with your normal life. You can rest assured about this."

The soldiers patrolling the city kept shouting at the houses on both sides of the street, conveying the rhetoric that Zhao Wen had taught them to the people in the city.

"Speaking is better than singing, who will believe it." A gentry stood behind his gate, and looked at the soldiers patrolling the street through the crack of the door, with a look of disdain.

This person is called Zhang Luo, about 40 years old, a Juren status, quite prestigious in Shanxi towns and towns, and also the leader of the gentry in Shanxi towns and towns.

"Master, what should we do now?" The housekeeper asked a few servants with sticks standing behind Zhang Luo with a vigilant expression.

Zhang Luo smiled wryly, and said, "What should I do? What else can I do? Just wait quietly and see what this Zhao Wen wants to do."

Not only Zhang Luo, but other people in Shanxi towns and cities stood vigilantly behind their gates, looking at the patrolling soldiers outside the gates.

"These soldiers and horses are really weird. They don't look like rebels at all. How can there be such rebels in this world?"

The soldiers patrolling the streets did not appear to be looting property or storming people's houses.

On the contrary, they still maintain order on the street to ensure the tranquility of the place.

"Growing up so much, I have never heard of a rebel who has no crimes against Minqiu. Isn't this too weird?"

At this time, the people in the whole city became curious about the soldiers outside the gate. Looking at the soldiers outside the gate, they couldn't help but relax, and they were no longer as vigilant as they were when they were attacking the city.

Zhao Wen sat in the general's mansion, flipping through the yellow book that Zhao Daniu found.

According to the records in the yellow book, there are more than 7000 households in the towns and cities of Shanxi, with a total of more than 6 people.

Among the more than 1 households, nearly 9000 are military households, and the number of military households is about 4.

Shanxi Zhencheng is a typical military town castle, and most of the military households in it.

Although the number of military households who have fled has been increasing day by day for so many years, there are still many military households left.

At the same time, Li Xiaosan also led the soldiers to escort the prisoners to the front of the General Army's Yamen.

There were about 2000 captives, including the original guard soldiers and some young and strong.

"My lord, I have already brought back the captives. As for the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, I have also released him." Li Xiaosan rushed into the chief soldier's office and said to Zhao Wen who was looking through the yellow book.

Zhao Wen nodded, closed the yellow book, and looked at Li Xiaosan, "Take these captives down first, and send someone to escort them to Xuanzhen tomorrow.

Remember, they must be provided with food during this period of time, otherwise, they will not have the strength to build the railway. "

"As ordered!"

……

A team of more than 2000 people marched on the official road, walking non-stop in the direction of Xuanzhen.

Now they have entered the territory of Datong Town, not far from Xuan Town.

Zhao looked at the sun in the sky, sweating profusely.

It's autumn now, but the autumn tiger is still powerful.

"Brother Zhao, where do you think this is going to take us?" A young man approached Zhao Yi and asked.

Zhao Wen shook his head, "Never mind him, anyway, we can provide good food and drink for the past few days, and we don't care where we are going to be taken."

After these few days of nutritional supplementation, the faces of these captives were also much ruddy, and they didn't look like before, always looking disheveled.

"But I really don't know what to do. I used to hear people say that those condemned prisoners always have to eat a hearty meal when they go to the execution ground. Now why do I feel more and more like we are going to the execution ground? Same?" The boy became a little scared.

Zhao Yi slapped the young man on the head, and cursed: "Where did you hear that nonsense, who are we?

We are just a group of poor soldiers, and these people want to deal with us, but they are just using their hands. There is no need to feed us such good food.

I said you should relax, if you want to kill us, you would have killed us long ago, how could you keep us until now. "

The boy was still a little anxious and said: "But I really don't know what to do in my heart. We have been walking for so many days and we haven't finished yet. I really don't know where to send us."

"It looks like I should go to Xuanzhen. I went to Xuanzhen when I was young. Although many years have passed, I still remember the way to Xuanzhen.

This road should be the road to Xuanzhen. Xuanzhen is the base camp of these people. It is impossible for them to drag us to Xuanzhen and then deal with us.Just put your heart in your belly, don't worry. " Zhao Yi kept comforting.

The sun was gradually setting on the west mountain, and it was time for dinner.

It didn't take long after the camp was set up to eat. The meal tonight was porridge made from some coarse grains.

There are some pieces of meat in it, and the salt is also very sufficient.

After all, these people were captives, so it was impossible for Zhao Wen to provide them with the same food as soldiers.

Although it's just some porridge, the porridge is much thicker, and the chopsticks can almost stand upright when inserted into it.

Zhao Yi held a big bowl, squatted on the ground, and ate.

Occasionally eating a piece of meat can make Zhao Yi excited.

Chapter 386 Prepare to go south

After dinner, Zhao Yi lay in a simple tent, stroking his round belly, and stared blankly at the top of the tent.

"It would be great if we could live like this all the time." Zhao Yi let out a deep breath and murmured in a low voice.

"Brother Zhao, I still can't figure out why these people provide us with such good food. Even those local rich people don't eat as well as we do." The boy from before moved closer to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi sat up, spread out the hay under his body, and then lay down again.

"Why do you care so much? Don't you like the current food?"

The boy nodded hurriedly, "I like it, of course I like it."

"As long as you like it, go to sleep quickly, and you have to hurry tomorrow." Zhao Yi whispered, and then fell asleep soundly.

For Zhao Yi, having a good night's sleep after eating and drinking is considered a great happiness.

At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting quietly in the hall of the Zongbing Yamen.

He looked at Zhao Daniu who was standing in front of him, and said, "Let's rest here for two days, and after taking down all the land near the town of Shanxi Town, we will fight south.

I am writing a letter now, you send someone to Xuanzhen, remember, it must be fast. "

The purpose of Zhao Wen's letter is to ask Liu Wenzhong to send some civil officials over, and Zhao Wen will keep some of these captives, so that they can cooperate with the sent civil officials to repair Shanxi towns and cities.

Now Shanxi Town can be said to be Zhao Wen's own territory, and it will be impossible to manage it well.

After a while, Zhao Wen sat in front of the table and began to write freely with a brush.

It has been several years since I came to Daming, and Zhao Wen's calligraphy has become more and more fluent. Although it may not be as good as Liu Wenzhong's civil servants who have been writing calligraphy since childhood, it is not bad.

After a long time, Zhao Wen put down the brush in his hand and dried the ink on the rice paper.

Zhao Wen asked Zhao Daniu to find a bamboo tube, then rolled up the rice paper on the table and stuffed it in.

After sealing the mouth and covering it with wax, Zhao Wen handed the bamboo tube to Zhao Daniu.

"Send this bamboo tube to Xuan Town." Zhao Wen pointed to the bamboo tube in Zhao Daniu's hand.

Zhao Daniu stuffed the bamboo tube into his arms, and patted himself on the shoulder, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely have someone deliver your letter in time."

The content of the letter written by Zhao Wen is very simple, that is, to ask Liu Wenzhong to send some civil officials over, and at the same time bring the reserve soldiers from Xuanzhen.

There are also Zhao Wen's requirements for local governance, the most important of which is to clean up the gentry.

Of course, at present the focus is on cleaning up the evil gentry and bullies.

In Zhao Wen's vision, he would use his own regular army to fight the world, and use the reserve army to govern the world and stabilize places.

Although the reserve army is not as good as the regular army, it is still possible to deal with some enemies such as bandits and thieves.

The establishment of the reserve force is similar to that of the regular army, but the training and weapons used are not as good as the regular army.
