"You mean, let them send weapons in?"
Sun Lei immediately understood what Pei Xuan meant. The Jeju government's treasury must have weapons and weapons. They will definitely be fully armed when they come to suppress Liangshan this time. This is just to give them to them.
"Yes, with the abilities of my brother and the leaders, even if they capture all the Jeju army alive, it will be no problem. Jeju will send at least two thousand troops this time. Those armors, crossbows, weapons, and ships are like gifts! "
Pei Xuan said with a smile that although Liangshan's former troops conquered Qinghe County and received a large amount of money, food and supplies, the most important ordnance was not available at all. This is not because they did not collect it, but because the county government did not have regular troops stationed there, and there were simply no weapons in the treasury. None of that equipment.
"What a great idea! Jeju Prefecture really provides help in times of need!"
Sun Lei clapped his hands and said with a smile, this is really a good idea. Not only did he destroy the enemy, but he also acquired a lot of equipment.
Everyone had no opinions anymore, even Ruan Xiaoqi nodded frequently.
"Magistrate Pei, I misunderstood you, Xiao Qi is here to apologize!"
Ruan Xiaoqi saluted Pei Xuan. Because Pei Xuan often sat in the government office to review cases, the villagers often called him County Magistrate Pei.
"It's all for the sake of the club!"
Pei Xuan said with a smile that he didn't like the word "shanzhai". He said that "shanzhai" always made him think of thieves, but the club was different. It sounded like a congenial group.
"Then let's do it like this. Let the notification go and ask the villages and towns along the way to stay out of the way and don't conflict with the Jeju Army. If the Jeju Army does evil, please be patient first. I, Liangshan, will uphold justice and won't let the villagers suffer!"
Sun Lei looked at Pei Xuan and said, there must have been another round of looting along the way when the Jeju Army came to kill them. If it was just money, food and houses, then follow-up remedies would be enough. But if someone died, then even if they killed the evildoer, they would not be able to survive, so It's best not to have conflicts.
"The sound of my brother's benevolence and philanthropy shakes the waters. The villagers are grateful to him. All I need to do is give him an order."
Pei Xuan nodded.
…
Jeju Prefecture.
"Enxiang, are we really going to suppress Liangshanbo?"
Jeju League Trainer Huang An looked at the prefect and asked.
"Is it true? Is it false? The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has given an order, and you still dare to disobey it? These heinous bandits are now entrenched in our territory of Jeju, burning, killing, looting, attacking the county government, and setting up private courts. They have the intention of rebellion. You A state government regiment trains, another arrests envoys, and exterminating bandits is their duty."
The prefect looked at the regiment coach Huang An and the arresting envoy He Tao and said that the Liangshan bandits have become more and more popular during this period. They not only broke into Qinghe County, but also set up a private court by the waterfront. If they don't ignore it, they will all be dead after this year's assessment. Must be removed from distribution.
"I don't dare!"
The two of them saluted quickly.
"It's good that you know that Sun Lei and Lieutenant Gao in Liangshan have a sworn hatred. Now the bandits are becoming more and more powerful. It is not only our duty to suppress the bandits, but also for Lieutenant Gao."
The magistrate looked at Huang An and He Tao and said, they couldn't help but not go this time. Gao Qiu was a narrow-minded person. If the suppression of the thieves failed, the emperor might have taken it out on them before he issued an order to punish them.
The prefect of Jeju also had a hard time saying that Qinghe County under the rule of Eunju was overrun by Liangshan bandits. What does it have to do with Jeju? Even if this incident shocked all the roads in Hebei and Shandong, they should have fought against it together. Why did it become a matter for his Jeju government? However, Tokyo ignored this and directly issued an order to reprimand him, ordering him to exterminate the bandits within the territory immediately.
"Eun Xiang, the bandits must be suppressed, but there are only 3,000 soldiers in Jeju, and the bandits in Liangshan have become a phenomenon. I am afraid that we have to bring them all to destroy them! The former Yuncheng County and Qinghe County suffered from insufficient soldiers and horses. "
Huang An looked at the magistrate and said that he didn't want to go to Liangshanbo, but it was his destiny to go against it. He could only bite the bullet and continue, but for the sake of safety, he still brought more troops.
"What should we do if we take everyone with us to Jeju City? You take two thousand with you and leave one thousand to defend the city!"
The prefect shook his head.
"Your Excellency, according to the intelligence report, there are more than two thousand bandits in Liangshan. I'm afraid that with only two thousand soldiers and horses, I won't be able to catch them!"
The arrest envoy He Tao said, he is the arrest envoy of Jeju, responsible for inspections and arrests. He has some understanding of the situation in Liangshanbo. All the places are under control, and fewer people go there just to die.
"What's the point of just bandits? There are bandits everywhere, and some of them can't be exterminated. If you can't exterminate them, just wait for the assassination!"
When the prefect saw that the two people were evading the order, he immediately started to scare him. This order came from the Tokyo Three Yamen, and if it was not handled well, all the officials in Jeju would be in trouble.
"I'm so gracious, but I'm really worried about the lack of manpower!"
Huang An and He Tao could only kneel down and beg each other.
"There are only two thousand manpower, and the equipment in the government treasury can be used at will. It's up to you how much the surrounding county officials can mobilize, so be it!"
Seeing the two of them like this, the prefect had no choice but to say a few words and leave.
"Huang Tuanlian, how many people can be mobilized?"
Seeing the magistrate leaving, He Tao looked at Huang An and asked.
"Transfer people? Transfer who? Jeju has four counties under its jurisdiction: Juye, Yuncheng, Rencheng, and Jinxiang. Each county only has a hundred officers. How to transfer? What's more, after the failure of suppressing bandits in Yuncheng last time, how can we transfer them now? moving?"
Huang An shook his head and said, the county government below only has officers and no regular troops, so it is impossible to mobilize troops.
"Then what should we do? The Liangshan bandit is not ordinary now. The villages and towns around Shuibo are all attracted to him. I have received news that many people around Shuibo have defected to Liangshan. I am afraid there are more than 3,000 people now!"
He Tao sighed.
"What? Three thousand people? Not two thousand!"
Huang An was shocked, this was much more than expected.
"This is just hearsay. I don't know whether it is true or not. How can I report it to the prefect?"
He Tao shook his head and said, as an arresting envoy, he has the responsibility to arrest and exterminate the thieves. After the bandits rose in Liangshan, his patrols have been paying attention to the developments in Liangshan. However, they have not been able to get close to the water until now. They only know a rough idea.
"This is difficult to deal with. The bandits are ferocious. Most of them are locals who are good at using the terrain. It is so easy to break into the eight hundred miles of water."
Huang An also felt worried.
"Huang Tuanlian, there are dozens of official ships in Jeju Mansion, one cavalry commander has 400 good horses, and there are 500 sets of crossbows and dozens of bed crossbows in the treasury. Why don't we go directly by the waterway and rely on Use strong boats and sharp weapons to level the water."
He Tao said, since there may not be an advantage in numbers, then equipment must be used to make up for it.
"This is a good plan. The Liangshan grass bandits are just a mob with crude equipment. They are no match for our officers and soldiers. As long as we bring all the equipment, the bandits will have no choice but to flee!"
Huang An was overjoyed after hearing this. Fighting is not only about numbers, equipment is also very important. A hundred officers and soldiers with standard equipment and complete armor and stomach can fight three to four hundred bandits. If two thousand soldiers are armed, they can defeat a gangster. There is no problem in starting a grass village.
