Chapter 149 Confident Yang Xuancheng(1/3)
"Tang Qi!"
"Call the Jin Yiwei and deal with those who kill good people and take credit for their merits first."
Lin Mang's face was cold.
The problem with the surname Yang cannot be solved in a short time.
What's more, with his current status, he cannot return to Beijing for the time being. He needs to send a letter to the Fusi Department and ask Yuan Changqing to find a way to transfer him back.
Or we need to calm down the Jiangxi situation as soon as possible before we can return to the DPRK with our troops.
But looking at the current situation, these guys obviously don't want to end the Jiangxi rebellion so quickly.
Lin Mang sneered secretly!
It's a good strategy, one is aimed at Luo Shangzhi, and the other is aimed at him.
Using Jianghu people to hold him back, Jin Yiwei has no time to worry about killing good people and taking credit for his crimes.
Luo Shangzhi's army cannot be divided easily. If the troops are divided to encircle and suppress them, it will inevitably affect the frontline battle situation.
Once this matter spreads to all the prefectures in Jiangxi, the imperial court will completely lose its prestige among the people.
I have to admit, this person’s plan is really insidious!
Tang Qi bowed in agreement and quickly turned around and left.
Lin Mang looked at Luo Shangzhi and said solemnly: "General Luo, I will leave it to you to quell the chaos."
"As for the members of the White Lotus Sect, you can use Jianghu people."
"I will send a message to Huguang Jinyiwei and ask the people from Huguang Jianghu to come to help. I can't trust those in Jiangxi."
The Sanshan Sword Sect was exterminated, and the entire world of Huguang is now in turmoil.
As long as the imperial army does not leave, they will live in the shadows.
Except for some senior leaders of various sects, he did not move the rest.
I'm sure they will be happy to call them here now.
What's more, being able to enter the Jiangxi Wulin in an open and honest manner is also beneficial to the various martial arts sects.
Luo Shangzhi nodded, he naturally knew what Lin Mang meant.
To be honest, these people in the DPRK have done these insidious schemes again and again, and even he feels disgusted.
Those guys really don't care about the lives of the people at all.
A rebellion will take at least several years for Huguang and Jiangxi to recover.
In this process, the court spent huge amounts of money and manpower.
The longer the war lasts, the greater the impact will be on the people in both places.
Since the rebellion broke out, the estimated death toll has been as high as 50,000.
These are only preliminary statistics, and there are still some statistics that have not yet been calculated.
Many people are missing mysteriously!
Where did those missing people go?
Naturally, they are all major families and sects.
A large family needs a large number of people to raise private soldiers and train slaves.
Some shady things naturally require some unidentified undercover people.
Leaving a part of the Jinyiwei in charge of Jiangxi affairs, Lin Mang led the Jinyiwei to leave Fuzhou City and go to Nankang Prefecture.
…
Nankang Prefecture,
Nanyang County, Yuyang Town outside the city.
It was almost noon.
The town that had just experienced the war looked very deserted.
There were only a few smoke rising in the town.
Under the old willow tree at the entrance of the town, several old people were sitting, chatting casually.
There are almost no young people in the town, except for women, children, old and young, there are very few young people.
Even if there are young people, most of them are disabled.
When war broke out, young people were either killed or coerced into joining the rebel army.
When the rebellion first broke out, the rebels looted almost everything they went.
People everywhere had no choice but to join the rebellion.
Later, the rebel army was defeated, and many of the trapped refugees fled. They returned to their villages and towns only after the imperial army pacified the state capitals.
In the distance, several young people came back pushing a cart.
There are several bags of grain piled on the cart.
Seeing the young people walking in the distance, the old man sitting under the tree smiled and said, "Hu Zi, you are back."
"How much food did you receive?"
The young man walking in front carried two knives behind his back. He was strong, but there was a deep scar on his face.
Although the army put down the rebellion, some bandits still appeared in various places and looted food.
"Old man, there are three bags, enough for us to eat for several days."
The young man named Huzi replied with a smile.
After the army recaptured Fucheng, they began to distribute food for disaster relief.
However, many rebels burned the food directly when they fled.
Luo Shangzhi could only procure grain from Huguang and other prefectures.
And there are too many refugees, so even providing food is of little use.
After all, the daily consumption of an army of 150,000 is a huge number, and he must first ensure the food of the army.
at this time,
Outside the town, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.
Everyone was shocked and looked back.
Some people even planned to get up and leave directly.
Because of the rebellion, many people instinctively wanted to run away when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
In the distance, vast amounts of smoke and dust swept up.
Soon, dozens of armored cavalrymen came on horseback.
"It's the imperial army!"
Seeing the armor those people were wearing, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the dozen cavalrymen rode to the entrance of the town.
The leader was a burly man with a scar on his face.
The scarred man glanced at everyone and said coldly: "We have collected the food!"
"Master!" Huzi's face changed slightly and he said quickly: "Masters, we just received this food from the city."
"Snapped!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scarred man standing on the horse whipped down his riding crop.
There was a bloody scar on Huzi's face, and he was knocked to the ground.
"Untouchable!"
The scarred man said in a ferocious voice: "Do you think this grain is collected for me? No, it is collected for the court and the army. Do you think this general will covet this little grain from you?"
"Tell you, if the army doesn't have enough to eat, how will the army fight against the rebels when they come in the future!"
The man with the scar cursed loudly, and his eyes suddenly caught sight of the woman in the town in the distance.
"Ha ha!"
"Brothers, there is a woman!"
The scarred man looked at Huzi fiercely and said coldly: "We have also confiscated these women and will send them back in a month."
Several soldiers behind him cheered and rushed forward. Several soldiers picked up the frightened women and put them on their horses.
As soon as some women ran into the room, the soldiers immediately broke in. If they encountered resistance, they immediately slashed and killed them.
The miserable screams echoed in the town.
To be continued...
