The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Seeing this scene, the rebel soldiers who ran after him were all so frightened that they raised their hands and surrendered, even giving up on running away.

"Damn it, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, what's the use of not even escaping!"

Hong Xing'an watched the people around him slip off their horses one by one, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and couldn't help cursing.

He now gave up all hope of his men, and very wisely turned his horse, and whipped his whip.

"hiss!"

The war horse under his crotch neighed sharply, staggered a few steps, and suddenly fell forward to the ground. Hong Xing'an rolled on the ground a few times along with his strength before barely stopping.

But before he figured out what was going on and got up from the ground, he was pressed to the ground with a weight on his back.

Soon the weapons on his body were confiscated, and his hands were cut behind his back by two court soldiers.

Obviously, he was captured!
It was also being cut back and stood up, and he realized that his horse had been shot in the front leg by a musket.

Halfway up the mountain.

Li Chengmu looked at the battle situation at the foot of the mountain and said, "His Royal Highness can't figure out how a group of mobs formed a bandit army. Why have they been able to get cheap from the officers and soldiers for the past two years? And they even took three states from the officers and soldiers." House?"

When Long Yutian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, how could he answer these words?
Can he say that in the last years of the dynasty, the officials were corrupt and the soldiers and horses of the court were scumbags?
The troubled times are beginning to emerge, and the newly formed rebel army is also scumbag. Otherwise, based on the actions of the rebel army in the past two years, if the rebel army was strong, it would have changed the dynasty long ago.

Both sides are so vulnerable that the situation has been kept in balance.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the rebels are all scumbags. The rebels also have ace elites. These elites can only be said to be in small numbers, and they are in the hands of the leader of the bandits, Qin Lang. That is to say, these elites are Qin Lang's direct descendants.

Both the court soldiers and the rebels have grown step by step in the battle. If the rebels continue to let it go like this, in another two years, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase infinitely.

"Now that His Highness has come down, these rebels are waiting to fall apart." Chang Lu stood beside him and echoed his master.

Long Yutian nodded: "Because the traitors are weak now, we should take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate them. If they continue to develop, the strength of the traitors will be greatly strengthened. Let them Coercing ordinary people, making ordinary people become new thieves, and then slowly becoming old thieves through tempering, and this cycle continues, the strength of the rebels will become stronger and stronger, and it will be even more difficult for the imperial court to exterminate them! "

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the situation of the court will become more and more passive. Finally, at the end of the dynasty, it will be annexed by rebels.

The 5000 soldiers and horses in Lingnan faced the 5000 rebels, an almost one-sided victory. Among them, there were about real rebels, and the rest were coerced civilians.

After dawn, the war ended, and my side had no losses, while only three thousand of the five thousand elite rebels remained, and many others were killed and injured in the melee.

Three thousand real rebels were captured, and they would be afraid and hesitate.But the ordinary people who came here were numb. They didn't know what would greet them next?They don't know what to do, the future is a luxury for them.

Li Chengmu pointed to the nearly captives, and said to Zuo Jing: "Now Yuzhou has been ruled by the rebels for more than a year, and the local officials don't know if they can use them. I will leave the placement of these captives to you. Let the Queen Mother and His Highness down!"

Zuo Jing, a refugee in the 35th year of Huiyuan, was taken in by Xia Jing when she was fleeing southward, and was later incorporated into the princess guard camp. Because of his martial arts skills and being a martial artist, Xia Jing temporarily appointed him as the squadron leader of the guard camp , under the management of a hundred personal guards.

Now Zuo Jing listened to his words, and accepted the order with a serious face: "Thank you Queen and Your Highness for your appreciation, I will definitely do my best to manage the rear for the Queen and Your Highness, so that you have no worries when you go out to fight!"

After hearing his words, Li Chengmu was very satisfied: "You will temporarily take the post of Yingchuan County Governor, and I will leave you some soldiers and horses, and take all these prisoners back to Xuchang for resettlement."

It is most appropriate for these people who came here to be resettled back to Xuchang as usual.

As for the real rebels, they had to be persuaded to take refuge in the imperial court. If the rebels were unwilling to surrender, they could be sent to the mines as miners so that they could contribute to the construction of Dayu.

Zuo Jing hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, how should the current Yingchuan governor be arranged?"

Li Chengmu said without thinking: "Temporarily resign from all official positions and stay at home. If he is not honest at home, he will be sent to prison. If he is not honest after being sent to prison, he will be cut off!"

For the officials under the rule of the rebel army, Li Chengmu didn't have a good impression of them. He felt that these officials had treasoned the country, and leaving a dog's life was the greatest preferential treatment for them.

"Since His Royal Highness and the Empress trust the lower officials, the lower officials are duty-bound to arrange the captives. It's just that the tens of thousands of prisoners and other people in Yingchuan don't know what's going on. There are so many mouths waiting to eat. Where will the food come from?"

Zuo Jing never dreamed that he would become a local parent official, but no matter how excited he was, he would not forget the current predicament.

Without food, everything is empty talk, and the officials and people under the best governance policy will not support you.

Long Yutian sighed in his heart, this is the difference between officers and soldiers and rebels.

If the rebels encountered this situation, they would either coerce the people to use them as human shields or labor coolies; or, in order not to drag down the team, they would directly rob them of their food and drag them down and kill them.

However, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could not do this. The placement of prisoners would not only involve the energy of the team, but also consume their food.

Treating captives well is not empty talk, and actual actions will become a big burden for the army.

Food and grass are undoubtedly the top priority for the army going abroad.

Such an important material has to be divided into a part to take care of the captives. Sometimes it is really better to kill and save trouble.

But as an officer and soldier of the imperial court, he could only think about this in his heart, and he didn't even dare to reveal it.

Li Chengmu turned his head, looked at Long Yutian, and asked uncertainly, "How much food and grass are among the grain and grass that were captured by the rebels this time?"

Hearing this, Long Yutian probably guessed what Li Chengmu was thinking, and his heart ached, but he still had to answer truthfully: "The food for the traitors is enough for our team for half a month!"

Li Chengmu's face flashed with joy, and he said with hatred: "It's really a lot, but I don't know how many people they searched to get enough food?"

Long Yutian comforted: "These grains can relieve Yingchuan's urgent needs for the time being. After a few more months, the autumn harvest will be ready."

After the autumn harvest, the common people will be able to survive until the summer harvest next year if they have food in their homes, and after the summer harvest, it will be the autumn harvest, and so on. As long as Dayu wipes out the traitors and restores peace to the world, the people can at least live a stable life , You don’t have to be displaced with your family because of the war.

Zuo Jing was very satisfied with the result, he didn't expect Li Chengmu to be so generous, and he gave soldiers and horses food and grass for half a month at once.

The food transported back is enough for the entire Yingchuan people to last until the autumn harvest.

With food, he will have less obstacles in resettling the people of Yingchuan, and have a little more prestige.

"The difficulty in fighting the rebels is not to defeat them, but how to resettle the people trapped by them, and how to eliminate the core force of the rebels! All of these require food and grass as a prerequisite!"

The meaning of Long Yutian's words is obvious, obviously he has a problem with Li Chengmu giving Zuo Jing all the food and grass of the rebels at once.

Leading soldiers to fight and manage logistics is the same as being a director of a family. Every penny and every grain of food must be carefully calculated to last for a long time.

Li Chengmu also understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the food issue. Before the expedition, the mother and queen made arrangements. Li Dingguo will continuously transport food back from Nanyang to support our marching plan! "

Long Yutian heard this, what else could he say, he could only tell Zuo Jing: "Master Zuo, when you go to Xuchang, when you settle these people, you must register the population and land of the whole Xuchang by the way, if you can To cope with it, it is best to re-measure the land and register it like in Lingnan!"

Zuo Jing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he was overjoyed!

This can be done. Back then in Lingnan, the land reform was vigorous and vigorous, which made the blood of these young people who wanted to make a difference excited.

Now that the Yingchuan reform is led by myself, it is very exciting to think about it!
Somehow, the word of Lee Seung-mok's placement of the prisoners spread, and the prisoners who had no hope for the future wept with joy.

But the real traitors thought a little bit, and couldn't help recalling the original intention of raising the rebellion. Is this the end they expected now?

The self-examination of the rebels made the next work of persuading the surrender very smooth. The rebels were willing to submit to the court in order to be able to justify their name, to return to their hometown, and to enter the clan ancestral hall in a hundred years.

The victory of this battle gave Lingnan soldiers and horses unlimited confidence, and three thousand rebels were recruited, and the team continued to advance eastward in Yuzhou.

As for the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who are still behind, it depends on their generals whether they can keep up.

However, Jingcheng and Jiankang received good news from Yingchuan, Yuzhou.

Li Jingfu could not help but be overjoyed when he read the news, and directly hosted a banquet for his officials in the palace to celebrate.

And Xia Jing in the capital also beamed with joy when she received the news and seeing the old craftsman Luo who sent it, and directly called some craftsmen to him, asking him to lead these cornerstones to reorganize the military situation in the capital.

He also gave him some blueprints of the Lingnan Iron Workshop, such as the boring machine for making flintlock guns, the blueprints for steam engines, and so on.

As for the blueprint of the ship, Xia Jing didn't give it to him, because there are no big rivers in the capital, so there is no need for that kind of big ship, or sea-going ship.

Xia Jing hoped that they could develop and manufacture the steam engine as soon as possible. The capital city is inland, and transportation is too inconvenient. If there is a steam engine, all transportation problems can be easily solved.

Today, Wei Dong came to report to her.

Xia Jing heard that all the government affairs were on the right track, so she asked him: "How does it feel to take over the government affairs of the entire Gyeonggi region? Can you still handle it?"

"Your Majesty has already planned everything. I just follow the rules and everything can be handled." Wei Dong thought that if he couldn't handle these things, then wouldn't he have failed Xia Jing's expectations.

Xia Jing nodded: "It's good to be able to cope with it freely. The next autumn harvest is the top priority in the Gyeonggi area. You have to make the officials below prepare for it."

Wei Dong replied: "Yes, I will definitely arrange it properly."

"Well, the autumn harvest is coming soon, Beidi on the other side of the grassland can hardly sit still, and the state border defense line needs to strengthen patrols and strengthen defenses. I will write to the general to tell him about this."

As Xia Jing said, she was thinking about what else she needed to tell her.

The more Wei Dong heard it, the more something was wrong, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, you have arranged everything, do you want to leave Beijing?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Fei who was standing beside him as a pillar, and seeing that he didn't even give him a look, he looked at Xia Jing again.

Xia Jing didn't hide it, and directly admitted: "Yes, Xiao Wu led the army and won the first battle, and the next battle will only become more and more difficult. When I fight with Qin Lang's main force, I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it."

Wei Dong wants to say that you are gone, who will handle the affairs of the capital?

But he quickly thought of Li Chengmu's identity, the prince of a country really shouldn't be too risky.

"Your Majesty's concern is exactly what I am worried about. With Your Majesty at the helm and backing His Highness, I believe His Highness will be invincible and return triumphant!"

Xia Jing explained some affairs and dismissed Wei Dong.

This time I want to go to Beijing, the main reason is that staying in the capital is boring, I have to worry about the war on the front line every day, and I also worry about the safety of Xiaowu. They are busy.

Just leave, three days later, Xia Jing left the capital with five hundred guards.

This time, Xia Jing also changed her habit of going out in a carriage, and went out on horseback in military attire.

She took her personal guards and did not follow the route of the army's southern expedition, but directly passed through Xingyang County and entered Chenliu, Yuzhou.

"Master, Xu Tong is another fifty miles away. It's getting late today, so let's stay in the town ahead for one night, and continue on our way tomorrow?" Ye Fei told Xia Jing that Yebu would not accept inquiries.

Although the clothes of the personal guards brought out this time are uniform, they are not uniform uniforms of the imperial court, but Xia Jing's special uniforms, which look like the guards of the family to outsiders.

So Ye Fei suggested going to town to rest for the night, Xia Jing didn't object and readily agreed.

"Okay, I have worked so hard for so many days of driving, everyone will go to the town to have a good rest tonight."

A group of 500 people entered the town in an orderly manner, and the people who returned home in the evening were frightened and scattered.

In this era of constant wars and disasters, suddenly seeing such a neatly equipped group of people almost scared the whole town back home.

Ye Fei has black lines all over his head.

Yan Qiong scratched her head, glanced at Ye Fei's black face, turned to Xia Jing and said, "Master, we seem to have scared them."

Ye Fei rolled his eyes at him, "It's not like it seems, but anyone with eyes can see it, we scared them."

Xia Jing pointed to the inn in front of her with a chuckle: "There are two inns not far in front, ask someone to ask if there are any guest rooms?"

Yan Qiong said with a smile: "In such a small town, it is impossible for all the inns to be full. As long as there is a room for the master, my brothers and I can sleep on the floor."

Ye Fei was upset to see him expressing his loyalty in front of Xia Jing, and glared at him: "Master told you to ask, just ask, where are there so many nonsense!"

Yan Qiong smiled and rode forward. Before leaving, at a place where Xia Jing couldn't see, she didn't forget to raise a middle finger at Ye Fei. Everyone is the captain of the master's personal guard. Because of your son's victory in front of the master Show him your face!
"you"

Ye Feitan was dying, he really wanted to go up and break off his fingers!
