Chapter 83: Take Fucheng
Huang Dagen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Semuren cavalry detouring away. He was frightened at this moment, and had no intention of chasing, so he immediately ordered people to clear the battlefield. The muskets and grenades he had just fired in a hurry were defeated.
Several horses, together with two unlucky men with lusty eyes, fell down. One was lying on the ground and whining suddenly, while the other was limping and trying to escape. The two men with lusty eyes did not surrender when surrounded.
Instead, he struggled and slashed at the Perak soldiers with a knife, and was stabbed to the core by a soldier from the teaching company with a spear. At this time, another group of soldiers rushed out of the city gate hole, and the leader was Tang Xiangwei. It turned out that Tang Xiangwei was the leader.
When Tang Xiangwei was preparing to go to the East City Gate with the newly surrendered soldiers, he saw the Semuren cavalry rushing towards the East City Gate, so he led his men to chase them. However, two legs could not catch up with four legs.
As soon as the Semu cavalry escaped, the defenders who had no intention of fighting surrendered one after another. These Semu people were really hateful, and they set a fire in the government office before leaving. It was winter and the weather was dry, and soon the fire was like a prairie fire.
, unable to get close at all. Seeing the fire
The fire got bigger and bigger, so Ouyang Xuan had to organize people to demolish private houses and build isolation zones. It took him a long time to stop the spread of the fire. However, most of the private houses in the city had been burned down, and the military supplies and the few grains stored in the government office had also been destroyed.
Burned down.
Seeing that the houses and food were burned down, the people in the city cried loudly. Without houses and food, how could they survive the coming spring famine? At this moment, Ouyang Xuan was extremely troubled in his heart. Although population is the most important resource of the Perak Army,
Danshan Zhongliang
There is really no extra food. It is not difficult to solve the problem of surrendering troops and housing the people of 1,500 people. After all, there are large forests in the mountains that can be cut down for housing, but with so many mouths waiting for food, food is a big problem.
Headache problem.
Looking at Ouyang Xuan, who was frowning, Tang Xiangwei was moved in his heart and shouted loudly to the crowd: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, Lord Pan Luohuan, the nephew of Pan Tongzong, has led an army from Xinjin City to take over the affairs of the city in the near future. The officials will not
I don't care whether everyone lives or lives." He meant
This was to tell the people that the government would rebuild the city and would not let the people starve to death. Unexpectedly, the crowd became commotion as soon as the words were finished. Hearing that the notorious Pan Luohuan was coming to take over the city of Chongqing, both the soldiers and the people were shocked.
The crowd was agitated. They had already had enough of this dandy's oppression.
I don't know who took the lead first, but the crowd rushed to Ouyang Xuan and knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and asked the Pili Army to take him in. Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but refuse to save him, so he sighed and agreed.
Now that he had agreed, he immediately sent people back to the mountain to inform Yu Zhu, asking all villages to make preparations for the reception. He also ordered the soldiers to prepare for returning to the mountain and escort the people into the mountain after they had enough food tomorrow.
According to the policy of the Perak Army, the surrendered civilians will be screened one by one, and the newly surrendered soldiers will also be sentenced to hard labor according to the crimes they committed. However, the more than 100 soldiers who surrendered in the uprising will be exempted from the crime of treason. After screening and counting,
There are more than 400 households and more than 900 people who are willing to enter the mountain, and only about 40 people
More than a hundred people from each household were unwilling to enter the mountains. Most of those who chose to stay were relatively wealthy and their houses had not been burned down. Most of them were die-hard fans of the government and the Pan family, and a few were planning to go to Chongqing Prefecture.
, Jiading Prefecture and other places to seek refuge with relatives and friends. The Pili Army was not reluctant to the choices made by these people.
, not only did not take away their belongings, but instead gave them three days of food. These wealthy households also proposed to buy some food with money, and Ouyang Xuan agreed, but asked that the transaction be done without iron money - the Perak Army was not short of iron, and even more
You don’t need to hand over money, but you need salt, silver, copper or other materials. To say that these rich households are
There were a lot of the above-mentioned materials hidden, and even a lot of Glauber's salt. Ouyang Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw the Glauber's salt, and he hurriedly asked where the Glauber's salt was produced. Someone answered that it was produced in Yixing Township, thirty miles northwest of Fucheng. He majored in chemical engineering.
He knew that this was a good thing, and with it many important chemical products could be made.
After the fog cleared on the second day, the Pili army headed for Hengyuan Village by land and water. In addition to transporting a small amount of loot and baggage, the waterway also carried women, children, old and young. The most important thing for Ouyang Xuan in this battle was
Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the west gate of the shipbuilding workshop in the west of the city, and most of the craftsmen chose to follow the Thunderbolt Army into the mountains. Ouyang Xuan ordered all the shipbuilding tools to be packed up.
They were transported to Wanjiaping together. Huang Dagen and the teaching company did not go back together, but stayed behind to deal with follow-up matters. Ouyang Xuan arranged three follow-up matters for them. One was to wait for the Xinjin City navy to come to hand over, and the other was to scrape
After removing all the saltpeter on the walls of the city, the third step was to go to Yixing Township to investigate the situation of Glauber's Salt. According to wealthy households who exchanged Glauber's Salt for food, the area had abundant reserves of Glauber's Salt.
It took Huang Dagen and his teaching company a whole day to scrape all the salt from the houses in the city. After scraping all the salt from the houses in the city, the navy of Xinjin City had not yet arrived, so he asked the two platoons of the teaching company to go back to the mountains with the salt from the walls first, while he
He led a platoon and continued to wait. The delay in the Xinjin City navy showing up made Mr. Yu anxious and uneasy. He went to the pier outside the west gate from time to time to check, but he was always disappointed.
After waiting for another two days, the fleet from Xinjin arrived. When Pan Luohuan entered the city, surrounded by his cronies, it was almost dusk. When he saw the ruins of the city after the war and fire, he jumped up and hissed like thunder on the spot.
scolded and beat him severely in anger
Next to him, Mr. Yu slapped him a few times. This guy didn't scold the Mongols, but scolded the Pili Army for being useless and failing to protect his government office and property. He scolded Ouyang Xuanmu for having no government and not waiting for him.
Take away the people in the city. These people are gone
, Who did he exploit? Who did he enslave? Tired of scolding, he remembered that Yihongyuan in the city had also been burned down. Feeling sad, he ordered his cronies to find the best house in the city and the most beautiful women for him to sleep in tonight. Orders
Not long after we went down, everywhere in the city
There were cries and cries. Pan Luohuan robbed houses and women. Naturally, his minions followed suit and also robbed houses and women for himself. Those who did not grab women and houses began to rob property, and those who resisted a little
He was charged with surrendering to the Tatars.
Just when the city was in chaos, several of Pan Luohuan's cronies arrived at the Perak Army's camp outside the city and arrogantly asked Huang Dagen to meet Master Pan. Before that, Yu Laohu had already sneaked back to the camp and
Informed the situation in the city
Huang Dagen. Huang Dagen knew that it was very dangerous to go to the city at this time, so he was willing to go there. But he also knew that he could not withstand Pan Luohuan's hundreds of troops. A good man would not suffer the immediate loss, so he accompanied him immediately
Smiling face, gave a lot of money
To these cronies, he asked them to bring two boxes of old-fashioned grenades back for delivery. He also said that it was getting late today and it was difficult to move around. He would meet Master Pan tomorrow morning and promised to send some artillery. He said it with great difficulty before sending these people away with a dry mouth.
Several plague gods. These few
After getting Huang Dagen's personal promise, the cronies rushed back to pay the errand. However, they saw that the door of the house where Pan Luohuan was staying was tightly closed, and laughter could be heard from time to time. Anyone who dared to disturb his fun and pleasure would rush away.
I went to find my own happiness.
After it got dark, the Perak Army camp began to get busy. Huang Dagen ordered his men to pack their things and head to Yixing Township early tomorrow morning. As for Pan Luohuan's Hongmen Banquet, only a fool would go! Offering artillery? The Perak Army regarded it as a treasure, why?
Possibly to Pan
Luo Huan? Besides, Huang Dagen didn’t even have the guidance for himself, so what should he give as a gift? As for the two boxes of old-fashioned grenades, they were given to the Xinjin City Navy Army at Ouyang Xuan’s request. After all, the Perak Army was still nominally the Chongqing Prefecture Xiang Army.
