When Gao Cangjin saw something bad, he turned around and ran away on horseback.
A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. If his own soldiers are so cowardly, they may not be able to escape unless they run away.
A large group of 500 militiamen rushed out of the wheat field and chased these people directly.
Bows, arrows, and guns came at them from behind, and those who ran slowly were hit and fell to the ground.
Now in Yang Fan's territory, the servant regiment, the teaching regiment, and the Xinghe regiment are all equipped with flintlock guns. All nine-gun guns have been retired from active service. These portal guns have been phased out and are currently handed over to the militia. Almost every household has one.
At this time, throughout the western border, a large number of rebels who dispersed into the fields to force farmers to harvest wheat were met by militiamen. There were volleys of musketry and gunfire everywhere.
The five or six thousand rebel soldiers who came to steal wheat were scattered and went to the fields, and were beaten by ten brigades and an equal number of militiamen.
Ji Dazhuang and his family were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move. The four of them, father and son, held their heads and shivered. I saw groups of militiamen rushing past.
"Dad, the gun won't hit us," the younger son said in panic.
Ji Dazhuang protected his three sons tightly under his body, and said with a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have a father. I have a father."
After a while, the militiamen chased the defeated soldiers and ran far away. Only the farmers in the fields dared to get up from the ground. Looking at the mess on the ground and the trampled wheat, he burst into tears.
With great difficulty, he rented land from the Yang family and achieved a bumper harvest, but was hit by a military disaster. Not only food suffered great losses. In some families, people were beaten and killed.
They were distressed by the loss, but also worried about the Yang family's collection of rent. After all, the Yang family has given such good conditions, and if they can't pay the land rent, they really have nothing to say.
The farmers are all honest farmers. After crying for a while, they could only accept the reality helplessly.
They all bent down and picked up the ears of wheat on the ground. At this time, every point that can be recovered is a point. They all came from Zunhua fleeing famine. He almost starved to death on the way.
They value food very much, and no one dares to throw away even a grain of wheat.
After Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru arrived at the Xincheng Military Command, Xiao Niangpi took out the troop deployment seal he had kept close to his chest and summoned the civil and military leaders of Yang Fan's system for a meeting.
Yang Fan concurrently serves as the director of the Military Order Department. The only deputy director is Tu Shanyue. The military mobilization and command authority of Yang Fan's territory rests with the military command office.
According to the regulations of Yang Fan's system, in an emergency, if his wife holds Yang Fan's troop deployment seal, it is equivalent to Yang Fan's personal presence. Have the authority to handle important matters.
After the people from the military command office saw the seal, they immediately contacted Yang Fan's military radio station through the radio. After being connected, Xiao Niangpi sent a situation report to Yang Fan. Soon, Yang Fan's instructions were received.
According to emergency management regulations, Yang Fan authorized the highest military command of Tu Shanyue's territory, and Lin Yueru cooperated with Tu Shanyue as the intelligence chief.
After Tu Shanyue obtained military power, he immediately issued a mobilization order for the militia.
All men from the three towns on the western border, aged over fifteen and under fifty, were mobilized. Provisional combat units are organized according to each production squad, squadron, and brigade. After the troops were assembled, they awaited orders.
These guys have more than five days of training each month. The training period shall not be less than two months per year. Although they are militiamen, they can go into battle as soon as they are given weapons. At least it's better than the Ming Dynasty's military training camp, which didn't train once or twice a month.
Because Yang Fan's domestic slaves farmed the Yang family's land, they did not have to pay land rent and only had to bear military obligations. Therefore, military training is very tight. There will be intensive training every month.
After the order was issued, various towns were in a commotion. The military service station opened its warehouse to distribute weapons and ammunition.
The alarm bells blared inside the earth building, and the serving men from every household rushed out of their homes to gather in the square. Each person must find his/her direct reporting line.
Now, the temporary villages built in the early days are basically abandoned, and people live together in thirty earth buildings built of stones and pure soil. These earth buildings are towns all over Yang Fan's territory.
Each of these castle-like military fortresses has
Tens of thousands of people live there.
The three westernmost towns are Cixi Town, Yueqing Town, and Chengtan Town.
These three towns are all in the westernmost part of the new city, between the north and south mountains. After these three towns, there will be the flooded area of the future reservoir. Therefore, the three towns are arranged in a line from north to south, guarding the western border.
In the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Military Headquarters, a large green table with a length of five meters and a width of five meters is placed in the middle. In the middle of the big table is the terrain sand table of the entire Ji Town. Xiao Niangpi was dressed in the uniform of a major general in the army and stood in front of the sand table holding a wooden pole. Behind her stood Lin Yueru in the uniform of a major general in the navy.
Song Yingsheng, director of the Civil Affairs Department, stood aside. Now Song Yingxing's eldest brother is already the head of the civil servants in Yang Fan's system. In fact, he has the status of a family leader. He must attend such an important meeting.
Sister Xiangyi, who is in charge of finance and material cashier, also stood aside. When mobilizing the army, you must have money and supplies to accompany it, otherwise big trouble will happen.
"Madam, Second Madam. The situation is very serious now. There are varying degrees of turmoil in the entire Ji Town. The Jizhou City opposite is in flames, and the number of rebels outside the city has reached more than 30,000. Basically, this time the order was issued The new army was eliminated. After they saw that the docks and outer cities were looted, they swarmed into the countryside and began to plunder the countryside." reported Guo Pu, Section Chief Hui of the Intelligence Department.
"Originally, the veteran army was not affected by this disarmament and was relatively stable. They watched the new recruits make trouble and did not participate. But then the news came that the elite veterans in the three towns of Datong were being laid off. The veterans blew up their camps, and these people followed. There is a rebellion. The entire east of the capital is full of rioters looting."
The little girl's eyelashes trembled and her eyes sparkled as she listened. She always has a calm demeanor when dealing with important events, and she has the air of a general with a calm demeanor.
The originally tense atmosphere also relaxed. She knew that at times like this, she couldn't be anxious. If she was anxious, everyone would be anxious too.
"I don't care about other places. That is a matter for His Majesty and the Cabinet. I only care about our territory and not to suffer losses. The new city must not be attacked under any circumstances. Our industry is a top priority. Do it at all costs. Protect the new city and the hydraulic machinery factory area along the river." Xiao Niangpi said calmly.
"Currently, we have mobilized the three-town militia, with a total of 25 brigades and more than 7,000 people. They have driven out the rebels who entered the territory. The wheat fields in the far west were ruined and the damage to various places is being counted. , will be reported later.”
Tu Shanyue was listening to the report from the Intelligence Department. The staff put corresponding signs on the sand table to show the current situation.
At this time, a messenger hurried in and reported: "Mrs. Qi and all your lords. Today at noon, a large number of rebels broke into Xianghe County. The county magistrate escaped. After looting the treasury, the rebels set fire to the county government office."
Suddenly there was a roar in the hall, and everyone was stunned.
This is no longer an ordinary salary. This is the time for rebellion.
