Chapter 505: Victory in the First Battle

It was too easy to coerce the common people, and the bandit leaders actually didn't take these people too seriously, and only sent a small number of people to regularly inspect the outer camp to prevent them from escaping, and the supervision was very lax.

But most of the displaced people lost the desire to flee because the wanderers were so bad that all the food was transported into the central camp and controlled in their hands.

The hungry people on the periphery rushed out with their families and mouths, and when they were so hungry that their legs were weak, they could not run far and they might starve to death in the wilderness.

If you stay with the thieves, you can still get a few taels of food every day, and you can still find some wild vegetables and bark to eat and hang your life temporarily.

If the homeless people take the initiative to sign up to be the vanguard to charge into battle or attack cities and cottages, not only can they have a full stomach, but they can also get a few catties of food for the family to eat a few more bites.

Gu Kui and Lei Mingchun had not yet entered the camp in the middle of the thieves, and they saw from a distance that it was in a mess, with a lot of gold and silver treasures sprinkled on the ground, and thousands of trembling women kneeling.

The four of them immediately ordered the young hot weapon cavalry to organize the homeless young men to collect the captures, clean up the battlefield, and kindly let the women who were kneeling on the ground stand up.

It feels really good to save people in danger, and Yan Congyou and He Yongqing, these warriors, feel comfortable at the moment.

The four warriors couldn't help but tell the trembling women that they were saved, and as long as they followed the "Red Banner Army", they would not be bullied by anyone from now on.

Ordered them to set up a big pot and take out the grain to cook porridge for everyone to eat together, and today each person gave two large bowls of gruel Tong Su was not bullied.

The work of collecting the spoils of war and pacifying the common people has already formed a routine, and the teenagers often do it when they are apprentices, and they immediately began to publicize it, ensuring that the displaced people who work with them can eat their stomachs and receive a few catties of food to bring to their wives and children.

If the person who is found to be hiding the property is killed on the spot, and if someone reports the person who has hidden the property, the whistleblower can get a one-time reward of three buckets of wheat.

This kind of propaganda effect is obvious, in a chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty when cooking cakes can cause bloodshed, in Henan, which has developed to kill people and eat, three buckets of wheat are enough to make people tempting.

With mutual supervision and reporting, and as much as possible to break up the people in the same village, it is much easier for the teenagers to manage.

At the beginning of the concentration of gold and silver treasures, grain, and cloth, Gu Kui and the four of them each killed two or three displaced people who had lost their minds by their belongings, and these people secretly hid gold and jewelry without exception.

Under the bloody pressure, under the possibility of being reported by the people who worked together, the 1,000 homeless people who were organized were much cleaner in their hands and feet.

Then everyone was given two bowls of multigrain porridge to drink, and when they worked, they immediately became much better.

The rescued women ate hot porridge, and when they saw that none of the Ming army showed lewd eyes and glanced at them, they felt that this Biao people were different, and many of them no longer trembled, and they began to clean up and clean the camp and tidy up the occupied houses.

The young musketeers began to ask if any of the women were literate and hyphenated, and encouraged them to sign up to record and count the seizures, and learned that they could write without doing menial work, and soon there were more than 100 careful women sorting and compiling their belongings.

There are also some women whose hearts are like ashes, they may belong to the existence of wanting to commit suicide and can't do it, thinking that they have been humiliated by the thieves and lost their virginity, and they don't want to live anymore, so they still huddle in the corner and wait for the Ming army to give them a knife.

If the original inhabitants of Xiaohouzhuang had not fled into Houjiazhuang, it was very likely that they would have been killed by the Liukou, or they would have been cannon fodder for the attack on Houjiazhuang.

The rogues are very vicious, and often the first to attack a certain city is to drive the people who are surrounded by them to charge, the purpose is to make the soldiers and civilians defending the city have scruples, and it can also play a role in deterring the defenders.

Xiaohou Zhuang seems to be the base camp of 30,000 or 40,000 homeless people and rogues led by Wang Ziyong, Wang Jiayun and other thieves, and some fortifications have been built around it, at least there are fence walls and wooden barriers to separate it from the surroundings.

Due to the increasing number of prisoners to be guarded, many cavalry had to abandon the pursuit and concentrate in the direction of the camp with large groups of prisoners.

This is a plain, as far as the eye can see, and it is really not easy for the rogues to escape, because the war horses of the "Red Banner Army" are all selected good horses, and there are many Arab war horses.

Except for some of the thieves who fled into the woods who might escape the search, the rest of the people began to concentrate honestly.

A few thieves and dozens of big minions were not very lucky, because their helmets and armor were more in line with the appetite of the knights of the "Red Banner Army", and they were taken care of by someone at some point.

When the body was collected and identified, it was dragged out and piled with the corpse of the big boss with a name and surname.

After the people who continued to sign up to participate in the cleaning of the battlefield were identified one by one, the bodies of the big leaders of the rogue were selected and gathered together, and the bodies of Wang Ziyong and Wang Jiayun were identified by many people when they were delivered.

The first battle was won, but the "Red Banner Army" was not happy up and down, and most of them were in a heavy mood and they were thinking.

Because they saw the real situation of the rogues, and knew that most of these people had been peasants who had been keeping to themselves a few months or even a few days ago.

And after the rogues destroyed their homes, they had to join the bands of the rogues and follow them to all the places where the plague passed, describing their numbness by lamenting their misfortune and angering them.

In peacetime, the head of the family often taught the soldiers to have a sense of responsibility, mission, and honor, and after this battle, most of the young soldiers fully understood the purpose of the head of the family to promulgate that only the real thieves should be killed.

The "Red Flag Army" entered the interior to quell the rebellion not to kill, but to save, but this is just the beginning, there are so many men, women, and children facing starvation, how many will there be next?

With the ability of the "Red Banner Army" family, how can it be possible to solve the livelihood of countless hungry people?

The homeless people were really miserable, lacking food and clothing, and they cleaned the battlefield really thoroughly, leaving not even a single piece of cloth for the dead.

In order to prevent the corpses from decomposing and the outbreak of the epidemic, the displaced people have dug more than a dozen deep pits to bury the dead, which was once the area for the development of tunnel warfare during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, most of which are loess with few rocks, and it is relatively easy to dig deep pits.

Two or three thousand thieves were killed, and nearly 30,000 were captured, including seven or eight thousand young men.

The number of Liukou who died in the attack on Houjiazhuang was about 3,000, and the vast majority of them were young and middle-aged men, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 10% of the old thieves, and the vast majority of them are ordinary people nearby.

The amount of grain seized was pitiful, less than 2,000 stones.

There are only 30,000 or 40,000 homeless people and homeless people who have a total of so much food, and they can't last a few days if they save food.

According to the ration of the "Red Banner Army", 40,000 people need to consume 300 stone of grain a day, not including the consumption of canned poultry eggs and fish products.
