Chapter Seventy-Four: Pacifying the Thief Army

A thousand cavalry under the leadership of Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi, the two fierce generals, pursued to the Huai River fifty miles north of Fengyang City, and after the arrival of the cheap guards, the Ming army was more vigorous, and the battle lasted until the third day.

Thousands of people were killed, tens of thousands of people surrendered on their knees, and more than 10,000 people jumped into the Huai River to drown.

Statistical results: The Shenji battalion of this battle city broke 100,000 thieves with 5,000 men and horses, only a few dozen people were killed and wounded, more than 20,000 thieves were killed, 30,000 surrendered, and the rest were all defeated and fled.

This battle not only relieved the siege of Fengyang, but also caused the arrogant Notre Dame Rebellion to fall directly into a trough.

Chang Wei himself also got 300,000 prestige points, which made him sigh again and again: It turns out that fighting and killing people is a shortcut to earn prestige points......

For a while, the fame of Shenji Camp and Chang Wei, Fu Zhouzi spread rapidly in the land of Huaisi, and finally the two of them became three heads and six arms and ten feet tall gods, rumored to be two feet on the wind and clouds, holding a thunderbolt in their palms, a break can make Huaishui flow backwards, and a wave of the hand can make the 100,000 army ashes.

The two of them laughed when they heard this rumor and ignored it, but Lin Conghao, the governor of Fengyang, didn't think so, and instead of correcting this ridiculous rumor, this gentleman made his subordinates spread it widely.

What Chang Wei didn't expect was that this kind of rumor actually caused thousands of the main forces of the Holy Mother Sect gathered in Sizhou and Yingzhou to retreat and enter the Dabie Mountains in Lu'an.

Up and down the Fengyang Mansion, officials, gentry and celebrities, celebrated with their crowns, and congratulated the thieves on quelling.

This situation is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

According to Chang Wei's analysis: The Church of Our Lady itself was not ready to rebel, but it was only in response to the White Lotus Sect, the head church, and in order to share the pressure for Xu Hongru, it reluctantly got up, and after capturing several prefectures and counties, and getting a lot of money, food and disciples, it was already satisfied.

It can be seen from the battle under Fengyang City that there are not many backbone members of the Holy Mother Sect here, and even the leader who led the 100,000 rebellious army is not an outstanding figure, and that battle was fought with great ease, and almost no decent resistance was encountered.

Actually, this is Chang Wei's mistake, although the Holy Mother Sect thief army is a rabble, but with 100,000 people, it still has some combat effectiveness, which can be seen from the siege of the thief army for more than ten days. Unexpectedly, the thief army encountered the all-firearms army, the Shenji Battalion.

Don't say that it is a powerful artillery with thunder and heavenly might, even if it is a dense bird gun, the thief army has never seen it, especially the thief army rebelled in the name of the Holy Mother Sect, the cult is most afraid of Tianwei punishment, in the face of this extremely powerful weapon, the thief army is extremely afraid, not to mention that under the command of Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi, the tactics of the Shenji battalion are reasonable, the courage is abnormal, and the thief army can be understood without a fight.

Chang Wei thought that the high-level of the Holy Mother Sect had no confidence in capturing the central capital Fengyang, especially after the Shenji Battalion sent troops, they were ready to withdraw the main force from Fengyang Mansion, and even before that, they had transferred money, food and materials to Dabie Mountain, so when they saw that the Shenji Battalion was very strong, they immediately transferred.

Since the lost state and county have been recovered, and the Church of Our Lady has also entered the mountains to become bandits, then the rebellion has become a thief, and there is no need for the Shenji Battalion to stay. Exterminating the thieves, stabilizing the place, and searching for rebellion, these are all things in the guard, don't worry about Chang Wei, the elite Shenji battalion of the imperial court is not used to suppress bandits.

Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi sent an urgent request of 800 li to Nanjing to return to the army, and they received an approved reply that night.

The way back is unusually slow, because the whole of this war god machine battalion has reaped the benefits, the thief army was originally based on looting, and the god machine battalion that won the battle directly took the property looted by the other party as its own, and each person got the benefits of more than twenty taels of silver, plus the subsidy of one or two silver for a day of going out to fight, this trip out, everyone got at least thirty taels of benefits, and even got thousands of taels if they were lucky, the god machine camp was elated, and the prestige of Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi rose sharply, and they were worshiped as gods by the soldiers。

What is the concept of 30 taels of silver? According to Chang Wei's knowledge, in Nanjing, the most prosperous and prosperous area of the Ming Dynasty, the annual income of a well-off family is 38 taels of silver, which means that the Shenji Battalion fought this battle, which is equivalent to earning a family's income for a year.

And compared to the war exploits, the number of dead people is negligible, and the battle exploits this time in addition to the income will not be able to run, and there will definitely be additional rewards after going back, so there is a reason for them to be happy.

I walked for three to five days when I came, and it took ten days to return.

Back in Nanjing, Chang Wei stuffed a battle report to Fu Zhouzi and asked him to report his battle exploits.

When Fu Zhouzi looked at the content, his face became very weird, it turned out that Chang Wei's battle report was extremely shameless.

The gist of it is: under the protection of the emperor's heavenly authority, under the wise leadership of Wei Liangdong and Xu Hongji, the prince of Wei, with the strong support of Huang Qiulin, the eunuch of the town guard, and Liu Tingyuan, the secretary of the military department, with the help of officials and gentry in Nanjing, under the wise command of Fu Zhouzi and Chang Wei, with the efforts of 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who forgot their lives and deaths, and with the assistance of Fengyang Mansion, after dozens of battles of various difficulties and dangers, the thief army was finally eliminated and Zhou County was recovered.

In the battle report, from the emperor, Wei Liangdong, Xu Hongji, down to the blacksmith who made the Wind Splitting Blade, and the boss who sold the bad guys, all of them provided great help to the victory of this battle, and even the officials who lost the city of Fengyang also became meritorious officials, and it was almost written that the Holy Mother Sect took the initiative to cooperate with him to win the battle.

On the contrary, it is the usual practice of ordinary generals to falsely report their military exploits, but Chang Wei did not deceive.

Seeing Fu Zhouzi's reaction, Chang Wei immediately explained that he didn't want Fu Zhouzi to mistakenly think that there was something wrong with his character.

"Xijue, do you remember what I told you to be a famous general who has entered the WTO? It doesn't cost a tael of silver to say something nice, but the effect is better than spending tens of thousands of taels of silver. What do you actually have to lose to us? Are you afraid that Qingliu will privately accuse your boss of not having the integrity to talk to your boss? What does this matter, anyway, we have not done anything wrong, so what if we let him talk about it? Our military exploits are real, and we are not people who seek fame and reputation, and we are afraid that others will gossip? Think about it, you have made meritorious service in the past, but because you offended the eunuch party, you were idle in Nanjing, do you still want to repeat the previous path? If you still want to gallop to Liaodong to make contributions, you have to sacrifice a little reputation, life is like this, if you gain something, you must lose something,"

Fu Zhouzi raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and pointed to a certain name on the battle report and said, "I understand the reason, but, fearless, can you tell me what Qingxiufang's old bustard has to do with this Dasheng fucking thing......"

Leaving everything to Fu Zhouzi, Chang Wei went home directly, compared to the hard and busy life in the military camp, Chang Wei preferred the days of eating, drinking, and having fun.

Seeing that he returned safely, Xue Qian flew into his arms like a bird, and after not seeing him for one or twenty days, Xue Qian was a little clear, and her beautiful face was full of lovesickness and tenderness.

"This girl treats me sincerely!" Although Xue Qian's process of taking refuge in him is a bit strange, and her purpose is not necessarily very simple, at least her mind is innocent now. Holding the hot and plump body in his arms, the softest place in Chang Wei's heart was touched.

"Did you miss me?" Chang Wei asked softly.

Xue Qian said in a greasy voice: "I want to die, I want to die, I think about it day and night, and I have dreamed that my master has come back several times." ”

The beautiful voice made Chang Wei immediately turn into a hungry wolf with green eyes, "What did you think? What do you think? Let's go, go back to the room and talk to my master." ”

Xue Qian was already speechless, and snorted with a heavy snort: "Hmm!"

Chang Weishi unleashed the eighteen palms of the dragon descending and wantonly ravaged the woman in his arms, "You are not obedient, what should you call me?"

"Ah, Daddy......"
