Zhangyuan Village is located on the plain, and there is no obstacle to defend except for the fence connected to the house.

As soon as the gate at the entrance of the village was broken, it was completely dug.

The Guandi Army carried the shield away the horse, paved the trench with wood, and then moved the tiger squat cannon straight to the gate of the village entrance.

There was almost no resistance during the whole process, only sporadic arrows and bricks flew out, and several Guandi troops were injured.

When the tiger squatted cannon arrived at the gate, the guard inside had already run away, and several members of the Fan family, including Fan Huchan and the Zhou family, ran away.

Qin Chuan led the Guandi army into the village in an orderly manner, controlled several roads in the village, and surrounded the Fan and Zhou family mansions.

Before the Guandi army could set up the cannon, a group of long-time workers and servants guarded the hospital to tie up Fan Huchan and several other Fan family members, then opened the door, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Qin Chuan stepped on the steps, crossed the high threshold and walked into the Fan family, went straight to Fan Huchan, and asked lightly: "What's your relationship with Fan Yong?"

Fan Huchan hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "Please spare my life, he is my little cousin... I pray for your life."

"Um."

Qin Chuan nodded, then pulled out the long knife around his waist.

Luo Daniu took a few steps forward, grabbed Fan Huchan's hair, and stretched his neck.

Fan Huchan realized something and was about to struggle, but his sharp sword slashed from top to bottom across his neck.

Since the court did not punish the Fan family, he did it himself.

"Ren Liang, you will take the Longwu Camp to guard the village, and no one is allowed to enter and exit. You will repair the gate and arrow tower so that the bandits will not cause harm to the people in the future."

"Big Niu, you are responsible for raiding the house. All the Fan family members have been chopped down. The Zhou family members have also cut off their people in this area. They have also cut off their people. They have also called out the villagers and asked which one of the guards who do evil on weekdays, and they have cut them all."

"The two houses carefully reviewed the mansions, moved out all the valuable things, and burned the house before leaving tomorrow morning. Remember, you are not allowed to touch ordinary people's things, otherwise military law will deal with them."

"yes."

Ren Liang took the order, and Luo Daniu took the knife and walked towards the anti-family members who were crying and urinating all over the ground.

Qin Chuan wiped the blood from Fan Huchan's body, put the knife in sheath, and then led the red-clothed attendant to the Fan family's mansion.

This is a huge and magnificent mansion with carved beams, painted buildings, red pillars and carved tiles. It is a pity that it burned.

But this is the Fan family's house, and Qin Chuan cannot occupy it. If he demolished the wood and gave it to the villagers, it would only harm the villagers and could only burn them.

As for the Zhou family's house, he wanted to establish his authority in this area, so he also had to burn it out with fire.

Zhangyuan Village quickly screamed, and the sound of rumbling over boxes and cabinets and demolishing walls and digging grounds in the mansions of Fan Zhou and his family also sounded.

...

In the evening of that day, the people sent to Fenyang to ask for military rations came back and brought back three messages, one was Yan Siyin's military rations, and the other was Yan Siyin's order Qin Chuan to lie dormant in Jiebei Mountain. After he and Zhang Yingchang led their troops to approach Mianshan, Qin Chuan would attack the bandits from both sides from the northeast.

The last message was: Fei Jialiang was forced to jump into a well and commit suicide by suicide by Yan Siyin.

Upon hearing this news, Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown.

He talked to Wang Jizong, Wencheng and others about officials from the Three Divisions of Shanxi and various prefectures. There was a small notebook that specifically recorded the officials of Qing officials, and wanted to recruit these people to help him manage the local area in the future.

Wen Cheng knew almost everything about the officials in Fenzhou, especially praised Fei Jiaxiao, saying that the Fenyang magistrate had a good management position. He had previously managed Pingyao Ancient City in an orderly manner and was honest and honest. He was a rare honest and capable official.

Because of Wencheng's praise, Qin Chuan was deeply impressed by Fei Jiaxiao. When he went to Fenyang to propose marriage, he had visited him, but in order to avoid suspicion, the other party politely refused Qin Chuan's visit.

Unexpectedly, Yan Siyin was forced to death.

This ancient literati really wanted to die at any time, and they were too honest, but Yan Siyin's eagle dog was too arrogant. OK Composition Network

When fighting with such people, I don’t know when they will be sold.

Even if you win a battle, it will definitely not be your turn to make a contribution.

Qin Chuan was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Siyin's orders and decided to march into Mianshan early tomorrow morning as he planned.

Lao Huang, Bobcaoer, Zhao Wu and Liao Sanqiu were all spying on Liu [Pencil Novels     www.qbxs.me] in the Mianshan area.

According to their reports, there were nearly 10,000 bandits in Mianshan area, with seven or eight camps, most of whom escaped from the Taihang Mountains and then gathered here to attack Jiexiu or nearby villages.

Among these camps, the largest one is Liu Guoneng. That guy was chased by Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu south of the Taihang Mountains and ran around the mountain. I don’t know how he escaped the siege of the officers and soldiers, and he crossed mountains and ridges for hundreds of miles to Fenzhou.

According to Lao Huang, who pretended to be a bandit, after Liu Guoneng suffered a defeat in the Taihang Mountains, many of the old camps ran away. Now he has less than 300 camps left, and there are even fewer other camps, which are only about 500.

Most of the other bandits were temporarily gathered together, and many of them were hungry people along the way, surrounded by Liu Guoneng and others.

These people have almost no combat power, so they probably ran away as soon as the gunfire was fired.

Moreover, Lao Huang sent back an important message: the bandits in Mianshan were short of food.

Because of the defeat, these bandits left basically the food they had robbed halfway while escaping, and only brought some easy-to-carry gold, silver and treasures with them.

Qin Chuan's previous plan was to lure the bandits to attack. He was worried that the other party would not be fooled, but now that the other party lacks food, things are easy to deal with.

...

In the early morning of the next morning, before dawn, the Guandi Army, who had eaten and drunk enough early, left Zhangyuan Village in an orderly manner.

Soon, two piles of flames lit up in the village, and soon the flames turned red half of the sky.

The villagers of Zhangyuan Village either carried their belongings or carried buckets, gathered together and stood far away, tremblingly looking at the huge fire.

Before the Guandi Army ignited the fire, the houses around the Fan and Zhou families were demolished and the trees were cut down to prevent the fire from catching the houses of other villagers, but the villagers were still very scared.

More than 300 long-term workers from Fan Zhou's family, shepherds and others held the food they had just obtained, and looked at the shadow of the Guandi Army leaving under the fire. After a while, someone suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Guandi Army in the distance.

The food seized by Fan and Zhou families was only 180 stones, which was pitifully small. There were more than 300 stones of beans, which could be fed to horses.

Although there was not much food, Qin Chuan still distributed five kilograms of grain to the more than 300 long-term workers and shepherds, and told them that they would go north from Zhangyuan Village to Wenshui County and enter Luliang Mountain and continue to walk north to reach Loufan. If it is fast, it can be reached in three days, and if it is slow, it can be at most four or five days.

Loufan has food and land to grow, because the big families there are dead and there are a lot of fertile land to rent for them to plant. In the early stage, only 40% of the rent will be rented, but in the future, it will only cost 30% of the money. As long as you go there, you can live a good life.

After leaving for more than a dozen stones of grain, Qin Chuan still had 270 stones, which was only enough to eat for ten days.

However, the Fan family and Zhou family had more than 200 sheep, so it was not convenient to drive the flock to the surrounding county towns. They couldn't get so much away at once, so they stayed.

The weather is not suitable for drying bacon nowadays. Qin Chuan asked his men to take all the sheep away and kill them on the road to eat them. If you kill five heads a day, you can eat them for nearly two months.

Moreover, these sheep can seduce bandits on the road.

The Fan and Zhou families seized more than 800 taels of silver, and there were also a lot of gold and silver jewelry, mostly dug out from the ground, and looked like private money hidden by some people.

There are more than 30 mule and horse carriages, which is enough for Qinchuan. There are also mountains of forage in the cattle gardens of the two families.

In addition to loading grain and grass into a truck, Qin Chuan also asked his subordinates to load all the tiger squat cannons and flintlock guns onto mules and horse carriages, and covered them with a large cannabis bag filled with forage, so that they could not be seen.

Until now, his flintlock rifle has not yet appeared.

When attacking Zhangyuan Village yesterday, he specifically asked Zhao Wu, Liao Sanqin and others to stay in the area of ​​Jiebei Mountain behind to prevent scattered bandits from approaching.

The bandits in Mianshan area probably don’t know that they have so many firearms.

I don’t even know that there are firearms like flintlocks that can be ignited without fuse.
