The Shentai Peak Village was eventually surrendered.

To be precise, it ran away.

That night, sporadic bandits ran down Shentai Peak and slipped quietly under the cover of night.

Luo Daniu and Li Dingliang were ambushing people and horses at several nearby exits. All those who ran away were lightly and scattered, and only those who rode horses were caught, carrying large and small bags, and those who were heavy in their steps were found. A lot of money and food were found from these people.

After a whole night, nearly two hundred people ran away, most of whom died halfway through the road.

Luo Daniu didn't have the patience to wait for them to run one by one, and hung more than a hundred heads on a big tree not far from Shentai Peak Village overnight.

The next morning, those who were still lucky were quietly hugging silver and about to run away. After seeing the big tree covered with heads, they obediently walked down the mountain and knelt on the ground to beg for submission.

Luo Daniu made a rough identification and cut off all the big and small leaders and those who were full of evil deeds, and detained the rest to the mine to mine.

Now, the mine has also organized a two-hundred-person mine protection team, divided into two groups, one group to mine, and the other type of patrol and guard against prisoners to prevent accidents.

Compared with Huangcong Mountain in Bashanhu, the Shentai Peak Dazhai does not have much money and grain, only 1,300 stones of grain, and only more than 500 taels of silver.

After Luo Daniu cut off several bandits in a row, the surrendered hurriedly took the Guandi army to dig up silver, almost digging the Shentai Peak to the sky, and digging out more than 4,000 taels of silver, more than 100 taels of gold, and a pile of gold, silver jewelry, jade pendants, etc.

In addition to money and food, there are hundreds of women in Dazhai, Shentai Peak, two hundred war horses, more than one hundred cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules and other livestock, more than three hundred kilograms of salt, hundreds of cotton, linen, silk and satin, more than three hundred kilograms of cotton, countless knives, guns, sticks, and countless miscellaneous things.

These things are the wealth that Guo Yan saved up after six years of building a village.

Qin Chuan not only retained the Shentai Peak Village, but also strengthened the fortifications and dug several reservoirs. The money and food in the village did not move, and only sent the hundreds of women and livestock back to Mengjiazhuang.

This big village is the second nest, an attack on Fangshan Fort and blocking the bridgehead of the west gateway of Loufan. It is also a plier, and it clamps the three cliffs and the East Huluchuan with Mengjiazhuang.

This place is also a way out. If Mengjiazhuang is unfortunately targeted by a big man and cannot be defended, Qin Chuan can also lead people to hide at the Shentai Peak of Xiaowen Mountain to preserve his strength.

As for the Huangcongshan Village... Qin Chuan planned to razed it to the ground because he did not have so many troops to station in so many places.

Nearly a thousand people were transferred to the villager who were repairing water conservancy, and all the ox, donkey, rooster, bus, etc. were also transferred to Huangcongshan, and all the money, grain and everything were transported back to Mengjiazhuang.

All the wooden houses, wooden walls, horse-repellent things inside and outside the village were also demolished without leaving any ground, and all the wood was transported back to build a house.

There is no shortage of trees nearby. From Huangcongshan to Guandishan, there are towering spruces everywhere, and dense forests are continuous, but Qin Chuan is too lazy to cut wood. It is much easier to use ready-made wood than to cut and dry it and then saw it open. Moreover, almost all the houses in Huangcongshan Village are built with spruce trees, and the materials are very good.

The women in the two major villages, Shentai Peak and Huangcong Mountain, were also sent back to Mengjiazhuang.

Qin Chuan allowed them to leave freely, but in the nearly two hundred women, less than one-tenth of them left. Most of these women were homeless. Their families either starved to death or died at the hands of bandits, or followed them to fight and kill them everywhere. They didn't know where to go.

Most of the people who still have family members are unwilling to go back. They are captured by bandits for so long. When they return home, they will only be pointed at by neighbors and will never be able to raise their heads to be human.

In the end, more than 170 women were left. Qin Chuan specially allocated two yards for them to live in and let them weave cloth and sew clothes in Mengjiazhuang.

Qinchuan's plan puts agriculture first, followed by iron smelting and animal husbandry, and then the textile industry. Yongning Prefecture, not far to the southwest, is rich in cotton. Many people also plant it in Loufan Jinglelan County, which is very suitable for the development of the textile industry.

In addition to weaving cloth, these women have another great use: they marry the old bandits in Jiuji Mountain or the Guandi Army to start a family and reproduce the future meritorious children.

He wanted his subordinates to marry and have children. Getting married will make them feel more home, cherish their lives, and will also pay more to protect their homeland.

Liu Youzhu is a typical case. This guy uses both soft and hard work to get Meng Guiming's niece and manages the arrogant young lady to obey.

Since then, this guy has become a different person, no longer gambles with his brothers, and has drunk less wine. He goes back to his small courtyard at night, closes the doors and windows tightly, and rushes out with a knife from time to time, chasing the foolish guys hiding under the window and eavesdropping.

Qin Chuan felt that this was a good thing.

His subordinates must first become normal people with families and families, and eventually become founding heroes who will glorify their ancestors and bring blessings to their descendants.

Compared to Liu Youzhu, Luo Daniu seems much more cowardly.

When escorting those women back to Mengjiazhuang, Luo Daniu rode around Miss Li on his horse if he had anything to do. After seeing the other party's three-inch golden lotus walking on the mountain road, he also brought a perceived mare to Miss Li.

Unexpectedly, Miss Li didn't even shake him. She looked like a piece of ice and just walked with a small step.

Luo Daniu was not discouraged, and walked beside him with a shameless face. No matter how he looked, he looked like a pug.

When an honest and honest villager drove a donkey cart and pulled the food from behind, Miss Li twisted her buttocks and got on the donkey cart with the help of the little maid. Luo Daniu hurriedly chased after him, threw the villager out of the cart, and then got on the donkey cart as a handlebar, making the sad and sad women around him laugh so hard that they trembled.

Miss Li's face was flushed with shame, she jumped out of the car and ran to the back to transfer to a ox cart.

Luo Daniu hurriedly followed and kicked the ox cart out of the handlebar. Before he could lift the bull whip, Miss Li snatched the long knife from his waist in anger. A petite and delicate girl struggling to drag a five-foot long knife, driving the three bosses of Jiuji Mountain, who were as thick as a cow, and ran around the mountains.

The people around were laughing, and the road was filled with joy.

Qin Chuan wanted to talk to Luo Daniu, but when he saw this scene from afar, he turned around and walked away.

He now feels that the bite that Luo Daniu was bitten by Miss Li is not unfair, nor is it unfair at all.

...

In the capital, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, in the Forbidden City, ignored the ministers standing outside the Huangji Gate and only applauded at a title book.

After reading it several times, Chongzhen asked Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, who was standing under the wall, and said, "Have the four thousand heads ever been checked?"

Zhang Fengyi bowed and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, after the empress's personal inspection of the oral and water-taking method, the 4,372 heads were all men, and half of them were drunk and meat all year round, so they should be some elderly bandits and old camps."

"Okay, very good!"

Chongzhen's slightly pale face showed a trace of unconcealed joy, saying, "Shanxi Song Tongyin used his troops properly and won this great victory. He should reward him. He should kill the enemy with great power and fight bravely. He should also defeat the bandits in one fell swoop."

"The Loufan Inspection Commander Qin Chuan is both wise and brave, and he defeats the enemy with only a few hundred people with strong strength and strength. He should be rewarded with great rewards!"

"Let me tell me, how should I grant these three capable ministers and generals?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a light cough from the next time that the cabinet chief Zhou Yanru stood up.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, these three people must not be rewarded."

Chongzhen frowned: "Why?"

Zhou Yanru lowered his head a little and said, "Since the bandits entered Shanxi, they have been in a state of unmanned power. Pingyang, Zezhou, Daning and others have fallen into the hands of bandits, or have been swept away by bandits. Now even Shouyang has fallen into the hands of bandits."

"Song Tongyin promoted tens of thousands of governors from all walks of life to target camps, but he could not stop the enemy from taking a step forward, so he could not blame him for his poor defense."

"I received a secret report a few days ago. Song Tongyin Zeng Tongtong ordered the soldiers in front to kill the thief to death. Only then can the thief sweep across half of Shanxi. Now, there is a good news of killing four thousand battles. It is completely contrary to the previous battle situation and is inconsistent with each other. I think that something abnormal will happen, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Chongzhen's face changed: "You mean, Song Tongyin lied to report military merits?"

Zhou Yanru bowed again and said, "Song Tongyin was not in a strong position and lost the prefectures repeatedly. He must be aware of his situation. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not do such a lie to the military situation."

At this time, Wen Tiren, the Grand Secretary of Dongge, also coughed lightly, first bowed to Chongzhen, and then asked Zhou Yanru: "Master Zhou, if you said, where did the 4,300 heads come from?"

Zhou Yanru smiled slightly: "The bandits divided into 36 battalions and 72 families, and they attacked each other continuously. The land of Shanxi is full of corpses. What's the difficulty of collecting the heads of two or three thousand old bandits?"

Wen Tiren was speechless for a moment, so he had to bow to Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Song Tongyin would definitely not do such a traitor."

"Previously, Song Tongyin also reported to the magistrate of Jingle He Changbao and Loufan's righteous man Qinchuan to defeat the bandits, and submitted hundreds of thieves' heads. His Majesty personally appointed Loufan's righteous man Qinchuan as the inspector. It can be seen that Loufan did have Qinchuan, who was also wise and brave. In addition, Shanxi general Tiger is extremely powerful and brave, and he uses troops properly. It is not impossible to defeat ten thousand enemies with hundreds of strong people and two thousand tigers."

"As a result, I think that Loufan's victory was indeed true, and Song Tongyin could not do such a way of deceiving the emperor and concealing the emperor."
