0611 Jiangzhou defeat(1/2)
Since Yongjia, a large number of refugees have traveled to Jiangzhou. These refugees have no place to live and are free from the king's transformation. They will easily cause disasters after a long time. Therefore, since the revival, successive governors of Jiangzhou have regarded appeasement of refugees as a top priority, and the most effective ones were Ying Zhan and Wen Qiao in the early years.
Thanks to the efforts of previous governors and county magistrates, the settlement in Jiangzhou is now quite large. There are tens of thousands of military households and officials, most of which are distributed among counties such as Yuzhang, Poyang, Linchuan, Xunyang and other counties. When Jiangdong was in peace, these military and civil servants and households would guard farmland and weaving production. Once there was something wrong, tens of thousands of military brigades could be summoned immediately.
Mo Yu is an ordinary member of the military households. He Xiang has long forgotten his old name. He followed Du Tao in his early years to rebellion and rebellion to Jiangzhou. When Du Tao was defeated and died, their remnants were placed in Jiangzhou nearby. Once they entered the military household, they were all their lives. In the past twenty years, Mo Yu didn't know who he followed, whether he was loyal or rebellious. In short, he participated in more than ten major and small wars. Fortunately, he did not die on the battlefield. He was able to marry and have children. This is an anomaly.
Now Mo Yu has settled in Haihun County, west of Poyang Lake. He has one wife and concubine, one son and three daughters, and has more than ten hectares of land. There are still three or five farmers who have been dependent on it, which can be said to be a wealthy family.
Mo Yu was over 40 years old, which is rare among military households nowadays. Except for the fact that half of the foot of the left foot was cut off from the battle formation in his early years, it was still considered that the whole tail was still necessary. Therefore, many military households in the vicinity praised Mo Yu as a person who accumulated blessings, and he also enjoyed it very much.
Nowadays, Mo Yu is a veteran in the military household. He has never died after fighting. Even the soldiers who are in charge of them on their heads will treat this old soldier with courtesy when they see this old soldier. Thanks to this qualification, Mo Yu can be exempted from the ordinary army's labor service and cannot be summoned to raise the countryside. He does not need to go to the fields and farming to farm himself. He has his own gait that is not naturalized to compete with him. As long as he can take care of his food, he can be used as a labor service for cattle and horses in the busy farming season.
The only thing that is, Mo Yu's son is sick since childhood, and he is not able to withstand farming and practice. He really doesn't look like a soldier. For the sake of his only incense, Mo Yu also took great pains to leave a daughter at home to recruit a strong slave. He can usually serve as a service officer and replace his son's military service in wartime.
Although there are regulations for the town to not be requisitioned, who is still obeying the false text in this era? Moreover, when his family opened a village to grant land, it was a family of three Dings. Once a conscript was issued, the full amount of Ding was not handed over and the military order should be executed, and who cares about his life or death?
The spring plowing had begun for a long time, but the village had not distributed grains for a long time. The neighbors begged by their neighbors. Mo Yu asked his son-in-law Mo Zhong to drive a ox cart to the residence to ask Shangguan. However, the residence was in chaos and no one answered him. Even the veteran lieutenant who often brought him to chat with him in previous years was not here.
After years of joining the army, Mo Yu naturally developed a sense of crisis. He quickly left the residence and ordered his son-in-law to drive back home quickly.
"I'm afraid that there will be another chaos. If it's a big summon...Nu'er, you will be ready to fight for your brother this time!"
Mo Yu said worriedly on the ox cart, why did his son-in-law have long known the name of his son-in-law, so he followed his family's surname. However, Mo Yu was still used to calling him Nuer and did not regard him as a family.
"I know, I know, Grandpa."
The son-in-law Mo Zhong was born with a tall, burly and strong, with a simple face. After hearing this, he nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, the ox cart hit the earth and rocks on the road and bumped. Mo Yu glared at him and pulled the bamboo strips down: "Silly slave, look carefully at the road, who is driving so banned from such a bumpy car!"
Mo Zhong bowed his back and took it honestly, turned around and smiled silly. Mo Yu became even more annoyed when he saw his attitude. He slapped a few more times and cursed a few times: "How stupid! Why did you mistook you stupid guy back then..."
The trunk is located in a beach area with many houses. Mo Yu has some family background, spacious houses, and even ox carts are spared. Among the military households, there are already a first-class family. After returning home, a group of villagers were waiting here. Mo Yu waved his hand after getting off the car: "There is no news, let's go back to their own houses."
After sending everyone away, Mo Yu immediately summoned his family and told his wife, "This time, it may be a great summons. I and Nuer will join the army. You women at home, so you must guard my Anu. All the households in the field will be driven away. If they are discovered by the soldiers, it will be a disaster for the whole family..."
After many explanations, the family started to prepare. The food, cloth and other assets accumulated in previous years were hidden in the cellar a little far away from home at night. Even the old cows and carriages were pulled out of the house and hid in the reed pond on the mudflats.
The reason why he did not tell others what he had observed was not that Mo Yu was unintentional, but that military affairs had always been secret. If he preached it in advance, it would lead to other people's hiding people and tracking it down, Mo Yu's ten heads would not be enough.
Mo Yu's judgment was not wrong. On the third day after returning home, the summoning order was sent to the garrison. A soldier in his twenties led more than a hundred fully armed soldiers to summon the various families.
Mo Yu, who had already prepared, and his son-in-law Mo Zhong and his son-in-law Mo Zhong were carrying food and preparing to go out. A stringless old bow at home told his son-in-law to carry it on his back: "You stupid slave don't have eyes, you have a good physique in your white body, and you may not be selected by the soldier. Bringing your own equipment is also a guarantee of life."
Mo Zhong was used to being scolded by his father-in-law, and he just smirked when he heard this, and did not refute it.
The young slave in the family is already seventeen years old, but he is thin and has not yet grown into a physique. Before going out, Mo Yu carefully reminded his son to hide it and not be discovered, so he left the house.
When the father-in-law and son-in-law arrived at the entrance of the village, more than a hundred people had gathered here. When everyone saw Mo Yu coming, they came forward to inquire. If it were in the past, Mo Yu would have been happy to be an experienced seniority to tell everyone about military affairs, but when he saw that the recruiting military officer was not old and had a cold expression, he knew that this kind of cucumber egg seed was the most happy to provoke the veteran to establish his prestige, so he pulled the son-in-law to hide in a corner and was unwilling to attract attention.
"After the three drums, three hundred and sixty-three should be recruited."
After the armored soldiers at the entrance of the village finished counting, they returned to report to the military officer. After hearing this, the young military officer turned black. He held the sword between his legs and shouted to the crowd of military households: "Go another drum, enter the village to check the points later, and those who are hiding their children will be killed!"
When other military households heard this, they were still laughing and joking. They had experienced such scenes before. No matter how fierce the yelled, they would end up leaving nothing and would not be killed.
But Mo Yu remembered the chaos I saw in the residence earlier, and the veteran who had been following for many years was actually replaced by a young man. He felt a sense of sternness in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he whispered to his son-in-law: "Go home quickly and call your brother."
When Mo Zhong heard this, he didn't say much, and immediately left the team and rushed to his home. Seeing this, the others were surprised and started to whisper. After a while, some families also returned home to call people, but more people were still indifferent.
After a round of drums, the soldier raised the whip in his hand and shouted: "Let's rest!"
Mo Yu quickly pulled his son and son-in-law who had just joined the team and lay on the ground. Seeing this, everyone lay down one after another. Then, more than 30 people were divided behind the lieutenant, holding the bow and sword to surround them. As for the others, they rushed to the village under the leadership of the lieutenant.
Seeing this, many people lying on the ground exclaimed a scream. Before they could make any moves, they heard the fierce soldiers around them roaring: "Kill those who are agitated!"
There was a scramble in the village. When Mo Yu heard the shouting, he couldn't help but feel glad. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity early. His eyes turned, he pulled down the old bow on the shoulder of his son-in-law and stuffed it to his son, and whispered: "Don't be surprised, I will follow the grandpa again later, there will be no danger..."
Before he finished speaking, a series of cries and howlings came from the village. Without hesitation, the soldiers returned again, while the soldiers behind him drove nearly a hundred people back to the entrance of the village.
The soldier stood at the entrance of the village, pointed at one of them, and shouted, "Whose family?"
The military households lying on the ground were silent and did not dare to speak.
"kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his butcher knife and his big head rolled to the ground.
"Son..."
Seeing this, a middle-aged man with a silence, his eyes were ripped, and he suddenly raised his head. Then the sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a feather arrow shot towards him, nailing the man to death!
Seeing that everyone was silent, the soldier had a sneer on his lips. He strode around Ding's mouth, who was searched from the village, and lit his fingers casually: "Get out of the line, you also go out of the line..."
More than a dozen people were clicked in succession, and they all came out with their heads hanging down and they were trembling. However, the word "kill" was finally greeted. More than a dozen people fell to death under arrows in an instant!
"This time, a little punishment will be imposed. If there is another offense, both men and women will be punished!"
The soldier horse stood in a pool of blood, his tone was as cold as ice: "Get up and line up!"
The crowd hurriedly got up, barely formed a team, and then was driven to the next garrison. After walking through four or five garrisons, the team gradually expanded to a thousand people. Then, under the leadership of the soldier, he headed towards Nanchang County.
"Grandma, I'm tired, I'm hungry..."
In the team, the Mo family's child was hung with his head hanging down and was weak.
Mo Yu was also covered in dust and a sad face. After all, he was young and exhausted. He walked for nearly a day and a night without interruption, and his steps were already staggering, and he was even less able to take care of his son.
"The little slave is silent, my brother-in-law is carrying you!"
Mo Zhongxing, who had been silent behind him, had already hung three grain bags by his waist, bent down to carry his brother-in-law, and at the same time he inserted his hand between his father-in-law's ribs, and he helped his back and moved forward with difficulty.
After getting the help of my son-in-law, Mo Yu took a breath and looked at her son-in-law at her and said, "A stupid slave can finally borrow the power, and it's not in vain for my rice and grain..."
After hearing this, Mo Zhong smiled silly again, and did not speak. Sweat had already gathered under his neck.
The sound of the death-seeking horse hooves suddenly rang beside him. Mo Yu turned his head and could not help but his soul flew out of the sky. The young soldier was looking at the three of them coldly outside the army.
"Hurry, let go of me, let go of your brother..."
Mo Yu hurriedly stood up straight and pulled his son off his son's back.
“Get out of the line!”
The soldier's wield was pointed at Mo Zhong with a weak tone, and his tone was as cold as ever.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't..."
The little slave of the Mo family had seen how cruel the soldier was, and he was afraid that his brother-in-law would die immediately, so he held Mo Zhong's hand and refused to let go.
"Let go, let go!"
Seeing this, Mo Yu felt cold sweat gushed down his forehead. He raised his hand and pushed Mo Zhong out of the army. He also lowered his head and chased him out, pulling Mo Zhong to kneel in the dust on the side of the road.
The soldier looked down and pointed at Mo Yu and waved his hand, "Go back to the formation!"
Mo Yu opened his mouth, patted Mo Zhong on the shoulder, and then crawled back to the team.
"It's a brave man, put on his armor and enter the supervision formation!"
The soldier looked at Mo Zhong immediately, threw a word, and then drove the horse away. Several other soldiers stepped forward, and many enviously stuffed a light armor and a long sword into Mo Zhong's arms.
"This, is this? I have a father-in-law in my family, and my brother-in-law needs to take care of..."
Mo Zhong said, and a person next to him patted him on the shoulder and roared: "Shut up, go into battle and fight for his life later. Who can take care of whom? Once you enter the supervision team, the soldiers will be in charge of your husband. The future is unlimited!"
Mo Zhong looked back at the team again, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law were gone. The soldiers next to him urged him to put on his armor, slid the sword on his ring, and hurriedly caught up with the team.
When the family met again, they were already outside Nanchang City. Mo Zhong finally understood what the supervision formation he had joined was. They needed to guard the main side, and to supervise the battle when the battle was in the war. Those who did not follow the order would slash the sword.
"Sure enough, people want clothes. My stupid slave was put on armor and was also a fierce man!"
After entering the camp outside Nanchang City, the military orders were a little loose. Mo Yu and his son had already received their own weapons, a knife and a bow. As for the arrows, they were only given when they were in battle, but there was no armor on the defense, and there was only a shirt with broken knees and exposed elbows.
Mo Yu held his son-in-law in his hand and tsk in his mouth: "What a fool, the heavenly family. Your father-in-law has been through life and death and has never been selected into the supervision formation. My stupid slave is really...t hint!"
Mo Zhong still smiled silly, and saw that no one was around, so he wrapped two pieces of iron armor pieces the size of a palm to his father-in-law. Mo Yu's eyes lit up when he got into his hand. He quickly tore open his son's clothes and stuffed them in, and whispered: "If you can survive, remember that your brother-in-law will give you a life!"
The father-in-law and son-in-law didn't have time to talk for a long time, and they immediately set off after eating, but the target was a huge manor not far away. There was no one in the manor, and a group of servants dispersed as soon as they rushed into the park, and a large amount of rice, silk, and wealth were transported out.
"Grandma, so many meters! So much... Who can save so much wealth!"
The little slave of the Mo family carried a grain bag on his shoulder and stepped on the white rice grains all over the ground, his eyes shining brightly. He had never seen so many rice grains in his life! More than a dozen large warehouses, each of which was like a mountain of rice. Their group was like mice falling into the rice warehouse.
However, Mo Yu was full of worry. When the transportation was finished, he patted his body hard, so that he would not get a grain of rice, and he also patted his son.
"Silly, Ah Zhong, which family are we attacking?"
Seeing that his son-in-law was passing by, Mo Yu quickly roared and asked.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Mo Zhong came over and whispered: "I heard that it was Yuzhang Luo who was not a disciple. Grandpa, don't say too much, don't hide it privately... I have already killed 17 or 8 people..."
After saying that, Mo Zhong left in a hurry.
When Mo Yu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The little slave next to him said curiously: "Grandma, what kind of official position is he? Where did his family save so much rice? If there were no 100 ounces, he wouldn't be able to collect so much..."
"Silence!"
Mo Yu covered his son's mouth with his back hand, and then sighed: "What a fool, a hundred people? The Yuzhang Luo family has not arrived yet! Even such a portal cannot be saved, Jiangzhou is afraid of chaos!"
After all, the father and son were underestimated. The Luo family of Yuzhang has a long history. Within one day, more than a dozen other estates of the manors were confiscated. The Yinhu Dingkou alone found that there were more than 2,000 families, and 8,000 men and women!
The entire confiscation operation continued, but the Mo family and his son were not lucky enough to participate because their film was about to start again, and they went up from Nanchang and were about to go to Xunyang.
"Zhou Fu, the prefect of Xunyang, caused a rebellion and led a dog from Jingzhou to the outside world. Our troops were ordered to take back Xunyang!"
The military information revealed by the son-in-law made Mo Yu worried. He was only a soldier, but he knew where Jingzhou was and who was in the army for a long time. He was trembling all the way and flew around. When he was approaching the city, his unit was stationed and waiting for subsequent reinforcements.
