Chapter 1281: Entering the city
A battle camp was stationed in Jishou County.
But in fact, the county towns were just battalions, logistics supplies, and field hospitals, which totaled only more than a thousand people. The remaining troops were stationed in places with relatively rampant bandits so that they could be suppressed at any time.
The large bandits in Jishou have been eliminated, but the small bandits are coming one after another, like the weeds in spring, cutting batches one after another. This is mainly because most of the places in the entire western Hunan are still controlled by Ding Sheng, and the Tang army launched a large-scale offensive this spring, which is only taking over some convenient transportation places such as rivers and cities. As for those areas with extremely complex terrain, it is still the world of Ding Sheng.
If the root of the bandit crisis is not removed, there will naturally be a continuous stream of bandits.
However, compared with the tribe leaders and large local bandits who were entrenched in western Hunan in the past, the Ding family was very different. After they arrived here, they established a relatively complete government system and formed a complete management system from top to bottom, which made the clearance work even more difficult.
Fighting in such a region is very different from the previous combat habits and experiences of the Tang army. After several adventures and attacks, the entire army's large-scale clearing of the mountain-style bandit suppression completely stopped because it was not worth the loss. Even if the entire Right Guard was put into it, it was like a snatch of the sea as soon as it entered the mountains, it was completely unworthy of mention. The bandits mobilized their flexibility, used relatively simple equipment, used their familiarity with the terrain and landforms, and the support of the local natives, which caused the Tang army to suffer considerable losses.
After learning from the pain, the Tang army must change its tactics at the beginning.
The key points of the intercourse between large troops were stationed, cities, guarding the roads, banning the bandits' routes from the mountain, and vigorously attacking the Ding family's economic source. No needle or thread was allowed to flow into the mountain.
At the same time, we began to vigorously train special mountain special forces. Now, in the Right Guard, not only did we gather mountain combat experts from the entire army? We also hired many local prestigious hunters as teachers to train soldiers to survive and reconnaise under the terrain of western Hunan.
After the mountain troops began to take shape, they sent teams into the mountains and fought small, small but extremely cruel battles with the bandits.
After the mountain combat experience of both sides was basically leveled, the Tang army's excellent equipment began to play a huge role? A small group of bandits were wiped out one by one? Forced the bandits to begin to shrink.
Adhering to the idea of conquering one place to govern one place, whenever the Tang army basically eliminated the bandits in one place, it began to move the local natives in the mountains, moved to towns and settled their homes near the river to further crack down on the intelligence sources of the bandits, tax sources and soldiers.
Of course? The relocation is definitely not that pleasant.
Because this is mandatory.
It would be better to say something if you leave quickly? If you don’t leave, it would burn your house? If you don’t leave, you will tie it up with ropes and chains and force it to drive it away. After these methods are used, there are still stupid people, and the knife will fall.
Such strict policies are quite inconvenient to a considerable number of local officials sent from the North. They have never experienced these in the North. And other officials who have just graduated from the school are even more disgusted. Isn’t the military and civilians a family? Don’t they treat the people well? What’s going on?
So the impeachment memorial flew to Chang'an like raindrops.
All of them impeached Shi Zhuang, the General of Right Guard.
But when these memorials entered Chang'an, they were all sunk to the sea? There was no news again.
In the end, even if the Supervisory Commission sent officials to supervise, it was just not allowed to use a knife to cut people. However, other forced relocation orders were still done.
And over time, these local officials finally accepted this fact.
That is, the characteristics of one place and another. If they want to completely transfer the governance concept of the north to Xiangxi, it seems that it will not work. After hitting a nail again and again, they have to face reality.
What these people-friendly officials most unacceptable is that these local natives who were moved out of the mountains clearly enjoy various preferential policies given by the government, but in private, they still convey messages to the bandits in the mountains and even smuggled supplies.
Such cases are endless.
For those who commit such a case, there is only one way for the government to behead their heads.
Overall, Xiangxi is still a thick cloud cover, extremely bloody.
Like Jishou, overall, it is quite calm.
Once a place is peaceful and safe, business will naturally develop rapidly and vigorously.
Wang Biao and Ye Zi arrived at Jishou County after Wu, accompanied by Zou Feng. The alert in the county has been significantly improved by several levels. The person guarding the city gate was actually a Renyong Captain, who was a team officer of the same level as Zou Feng.
Wu Yong stared at Wang Biao and Ye Zi intently. Even though Ye Zi was generous, Wu Yong lowered her head embarrassedly. After all, she was still snuggling in front of Wang Biao's chest.
Zou Feng smiled and turned over and dismounted, walked to Wu Yong, whispered a few words, and Wang Biao also got off the horse and walked towards Wu Yong.
Everyone is old acquaintances.
After listening to Zou Feng’s explanation, Wu Yong suddenly realized.
He punched Wang Biao in front of the chest, laughing and said, "Brother Biao, you are going to fly to the sky as soon as you retire, it's going to float."
Wang Biao laughed, turned around and held Ye Zi's hand, and said, "This is Wu Yong and Wu Captain Wu, half a level higher than Zou Guzheng."
Ye Zi quickly bowed his knees and bowed.
Wu Yong waved his hands repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, don't break me. In front of Brother Biao, I'm a hammer. Brother Biao, I've agreed that a good life will definitely be. Don't forget to give me a letter. At that time, as long as I don't go out to fight and are not on duty, I must ask for a drink."
"It must be!" Wang Biao smiled and said, "Guozheng Zou, I want to take Ye Zi to buy things. If I am late, I will close the stall. Please help me tell Deputy Guard Luo, and then I will report immediately after I settle down."
"Okay!" Zou Feng nodded, then looked at Wu Yong and said, "It's different today. Even you came to the city gate in person."
"The General is coming!" Wu Yong whispered: "Everyone is not an outsider, and you are not afraid of knowing it. The group of people in our Jishou was the first group of the Right Guard who retreated, so the General is going to attend in person. I am afraid that those people in the mountains will also know this news. So I may be able to sneak into some assassin killer. This place in western Hunan is very evil, and we have never heard of many assassin methods, so we have to mention 120,000 caution."
Zou Feng changed his color slightly and said, "The general came to Jishou in person, but didn't bring the personal guard camp here? As long as the personal guard camp comes, will the people from the mountains be afraid of them?"
"The problem is that the general only brought a guard of 500 people." Wu Yong said: "The general will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Are you too careless?" Zou Feng said.
"So Deputy Commander Luo was extremely worried. The general did not allow Deputy Commander Luo to take back the troops scattered outside to concentrate on defense. However, our large bandits in Jishou have been cleaned up, and nothing will happen, it is just to be on guard against assassins. Besides, we are not good at guard against assassins. Are there any more professional people?"
Zou Feng nodded: "That's right!"
Several people entered the city, but they parted ways. Zou Feng rushed to report, while Wang Biao took Ye Zi to go shopping.
More than a year ago, Ye Zi came to the county town, but that time, Wang Biao sent her mother to the Tang Jun field hospital in the city to treat her leg injuries. Ye Zi also lived in the hospital to take care of her mother. She had no time and did not dare to go out alone. This time, it was the first time that she really went shopping.
The prosperity of the city instantly fascinated the leaves' eyes.
"Boss, I want to make a full set of wedding dresses, by the way, and the auspicious clothes I wear!" Wang Biao shouted after leading Ye Zi into a cloth shop.
Although he could no longer wear military uniforms, Wang Biao's clothes were still military casual uniforms that were often worn in the army, which was naturally very familiar to these merchants.
"This husband and this lady, please come here. We have various fabrics that specialize in making wedding dresses and auspicious clothes. I wonder which one do you like?" The boss was extremely enthusiastic.
"We don't understand either!" Wang Biao said frankly. He has been in the army, so naturally he didn't know. Ye Zi was so pitiful that it was the first time he had entered the city in his life, so he naturally didn't understand these things: "You choose for us."
The boss was overjoyed and immediately pointed to the most expensive fabric and began to brag about it.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all not short of money. Since the person in front of him could get married, his status was extraordinary, and naturally he was not short of money. He did not expect that Wang Biao was a retired soldier.
"So expensive?" As soon as he heard a wedding dress cost more than ten yuan, Ye Zi's mouth was enough to stuff an egg into it.
"Miss, I'll wear this one in my life, how can it be less expensive?" The boss smiled. The lady was surprised, but the man didn't even blink, and he immediately felt a clear mind.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Wang Biao waved his hand and said immediately: "It's it, boss, measure the size."
"Good!"
After ordering a full set of wedding dresses and auspicious clothes, he customized two sets of clothes for Ye Ziniang, and then twenty yuan flew into the boss's pocket. Ye Zi's whole set cost ten yuan, Wang Biao's cost five yuan, and the other five silver dollars spent on Ye Ziniang.
One yuan is a silver dollar, which is the past one thousand cents, and twenty yuan is a full twenty stagnant of coins. Ye Zi has never seen so much money.
