Chapter 177: Aid to Chongzhou
Before you even arrived at the expected battlefield, you encountered a group of defeated soldiers. Do you dare to believe that such a pie fell from the sky? But the 01st Infantry Division encountered it.
A group of Wenxiang Cult's riot troops were driven directly by the Tengxiang Cavalry Division. The 01st Infantry Division quickly set up its formation and then took the initiative to attack with the Tengxiang Cavalry Division.
The road ahead was blocked and the chrysanthemum was stabbed.
The group of scented sect soldiers completely collapsed. Soon, amid the official army's shouts of "kneeling on the ground and not killing", a large number of sects fell to the ground.
At this moment, the cavalry's pursuit ability was completely revealed. Even if they could catch up, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division could not handle it. But now it is different. After the 01st Infantry Division joined the battlefield, the cavalry just chased after him, shouted to kneel down and not kill him, and then chopped down the running ones to the ground, and then continued to chase other enemies. And the enemies kneeling on the ground naturally had infantry coming to deal with it.
If there were no infantry, once they walked in front and the enemy kneeling on the ground behind would definitely stand up and continue running, which would be like doing useless work.
I saw that all the cavalrymen were kneeling down from the crowd wherever they passed. On the endless fields, the cavalry began to slash and kill the eccles who were still running away.
"Kneel down and not kill, only punish the evil people." Two cavalrymen quickly ran past a group of hundreds of religious people, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground on the spot.
The Tengxiang Cavalry Division had completely dispersed the pursuit, and turned into a team of two people, at least with a cover. However, the cavalry, which was only two people, still made the incense-smelling scholars not dare to resist on the battlefield. Especially when the slogan of only punishing the evil people, the religious people felt at ease, and many of them simply stopped running away. They knelt on the ground and waited for treatment. They were originally a group of farmers or civilians. Why should they fight against the government army?
The infantry behind quickly followed and controlled the surrendered religious people.
The Tengxiang Cavalry Division soon fought in front of him, and the "elite" soldiers of the Scent of Scent of Squid were covering the retreat. These backbones of the Scent of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of Squid of
Perhaps those Yin Gods can indeed cure diseases after they come to their bodies. They are called witch doctors academically. But those demons who can invite them may be fine to cure minor illnesses and pains, but after all, their magic power is limited, and most of them can only rely on cheating. Moreover, these geniuses may become the leader of the next cult at any time.
Those backbones of the Scented Sect knew that they would not survive after surrendering, so they were fighting to the death. The Tengxiang Cavalry Division used its mobility advantage to drag down these backbones of the Scented Sect. The cavalry around them gathered over and rushed directly. Killed these backbones of the Scented Sect on the spot. The so-called elites were simply a joke in front of the Tengxiang Cavalry Division.
The fully armed Tengxiang Cavalry Division is obviously more reliable than these charlatans when it comes to incompetence in swords and guns.
These resistance forces were quickly washed away by the Tengxiang Cavalry Division like autumn wind swept away fallen leaves. Although the plains could run everywhere, it was easy for cavalry to chase them. It was too easy to deal with these almost pure infantry riots.
The pursuit lasted for nearly half an hour. The Tengxiang Cavalry Division had to stop chasing. The horsepower was already overdrawn. If you ran, it would cause damage to the war horses. These war horses were very precious. Most of the enemies were annihilated, and only a few became fish that escaped the net.
After the battle, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division gathered directly to rest. Naturally, the infantry did the cleaning of the battlefield, and they didn't care about it.
"Teacher Commander, only twelve people were injured this time, only one was seriously injured, and the others were all slightly injured. The seriously injured one accidentally fell while riding a horse, broke three ribs, and was receiving treatment. It would be fine to rescue him." The staff officer reported to Li Wei.
After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but smile. How bad is the combat power of the Scented Sect?
In this battle, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division's combat damage was so low that it was mainly because most of the scented sect's chaotic army were composed of ordinary people without any military qualities, and the weapons in their hands were even more rotten. Rakes and hoes could not effectively kill and damage the fully armed cavalry. Therefore, the cavalry division rushed into the crowd and chopped everywhere, without any war damage. The "elite" of the scented sect, although they also had big swords and spears, also lacked combat qualities. Moreover, they had no chance to contact the cavalry division, and were submerged by the defeated friendly forces. Without any formation, they could only kneel down.
At the same time, such war damage also made Li Wei understand a good problem. The people who were instigated to rebel are actually the biggest victims, and the country is also the victim.
Li Wei, who has traveled everywhere, is not unfamiliar with these religions.
The Yin God who inspires the people to rebel and instigates the rebellion behind the scenes may not have planned to succeed in the rebellion from the beginning, or just wanted to "draw a prize" and it would be best if he could succeed. If he could not succeed, he would gain a lot of confidence and be able to eat well.
In the view of the incense smelling sect, these people are just tools.
This is the terribleness of religion. In order to gain trust, they can ignore many things, such as making believers give birth to crazily. A religion that produces extremist organizations is like a fertility machine, giving birth to more than a dozen people everywhere, trying to occupy the earth with an absolute population, and a strong reproductive ability.
The 01 Infantry Division was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, which was not very hard. A large number of prisoners played a role, and the infantry commanded these prisoners to concentrate the spoils, transported and buried the bodies.
After statistics, the number of prisoners reached more than 40,000, less than 3,000 were killed by the cavalry division. There were nearly 5,000 people killed each other and trampled to death, and less than 2,000 people ran away.
Soon, the backbone of the Winter Sorrow Sect among these prisoners was pulled out one by one and then detained. The other prisoners were not strictly detained. The instructors of the infantry division formed a propaganda team, conducted publicity and education on these prisoners, and read out the handling plan.
"All ordinary people who participate will be pardoned for not guilty. The court will set up a royal farm and distribute it to the land to cultivate. Each household will give 30 acres of land and 30% of the rent for tenants. The rent for tenants will be exempted from disaster year..."
These people who have participated in cults are obviously not at ease to put them back, but it is obviously not appropriate to ask for crimes. The best way is to establish a royal farm and use the Baojia system to conduct semi-military management. The Baojia system can ensure that these people will come into contact with these cults again in the future and can also carry out continuous publicity and education. In addition, the rebellion of the incense scent has caused a significant impact on local production. The imperial farm system can obviously quickly resume agricultural production.
The triangle area at the junction of Shandong, Henan and Jiangsu is an important commercial cotton production area. Production must be resumed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if there is a problem with the supply of cotton. In agricultural production, the land area occupied by cotton is relatively large. In addition to eating, people also have to wear clothes. At present, the scale of commercial cotton production in Beizhili is not too large, especially Huangzhuang currently produces commercial grain, and cotton must be supplied from other provinces.
But this time the incense sect rebellion became a good opportunity for the expansion of the imperial village.
The land in their hands of these captured people will be included in the royal farm. The landlords killed by the Scented Sect will also become a homeless land and will be incorporated into the royal farm for production. This is a good opportunity for the Royal Agricultural Company to officially enter Shandong.
After announcing the disposal plan, the captured people finally felt completely relieved, and many were still happy. However, many were sad and crying. Those who lost their relatives could only cry silently. No wonder the court, and the pain of war could only bear it by themselves.
According to the interrogation of prisoners, Wen Xiang Cult is drawing troops from various places to siege Chongzhou.
After a brief rest, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the 01st Infantry Division rushed to Chongzhou for assistance, while Yuncheng was handed over to the friendly troops behind him.
The 02,03 Infantry Division, which followed, quickly recovered Yuncheng County and Juye County. The troops of the Winter Sect in the city were relatively empty. There was no fierce battle during the recovery process, and no decent battles even occurred. Knowing that there was no meat to eat, the 02,03 Infantry Division quickly passed the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou area and rushed to the territory of Chongzhou to find the main force of the Winter Sect.
At this time, Xu Hongru had already taken Zou County and began to launch strategies in all directions with Zou County as the center, extending his hands all the way to the northern part of Jiangsu.
Shandong Governor Zhao Yan also organized the Shandong government army at this time and appointed Yizhou people who had retired and returned home. Former Datong General Yang Zhaoji was the general officer of Shandong, and he tried his best to suppress Xu Hongru.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the Shandong government army. As long as he could cooperate with him, Zhu Youxiao never expected the Shandong government army to quickly exterminate the Wenxiang Sect. Therefore, the main force that suppressed Xu Hongru this time was the three infantry divisions of the Beijing camp.
On the 25th day of the fifth day of the lunar calendar, the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the 01st Infantry Division arrived in Chongzhou, and this time they encountered nearly 150,000 riot troops of the incense sect.
The officials and people in Chongzhou City defended very tenaciously, but the huge military strength of the Yinxiang Sect made people desperate. Just when they were desperate, the arrival of the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the 01st Infantry Division immediately gave Chongzhou an injection of a heart attack.
The Wenxiang Cult riots who besieged Chongzhou quickly set their sights on the official army rushing to help Chongzhou, and were about to annihilate the official army first. What they did not expect was that the official army, whose total strength was less than 15,000, actually took the initiative to attack the city of Chongzhou. The Wenxiang Cult immediately set up a formation and blocked the Tengxiang Cavalry Division and the 01st Infantry Division that marched directly.
It is obvious that it is impossible to make the Winter Sect give up the siege of Chongzhou without fighting a war.
