boom! boom! boom!
The cannons outside fired a few more times, and after a section of the wall collapsed again, the Tiger Flag soldiers waiting outside rushed in along the gap.
After entering, except for a few corpses, there was no living person in the yard.
The deep courtyard is reflected in its depth and size.
No one was found alive in the front, so captain Ran Tiancun began to spread out the team, searching each room to arrest people.
Searching rooms and arresting people is not unfamiliar to many soldiers.
Every time they attacked the city or the homes of some wealthy families outside the city, they would rush into the houses and arrest people.
Although the thugs raised by the Tan family were fierce and fierce in front of the tenants of the Tan family, most of them were as honest as their grandson when they encountered regular troops like the Tiger Flag.
A few of the bad guys were beaten to death on the spot by the tiger-character flag soldiers who broke in.
As the people from Tiger Character Banner searched houses one after another, more and more people from Tanjiazhai were driven into the yard.
When the back house was searched, it caused the women and girls in the back house to scream in panic.
Soon all the women in the back house were escorted out, along with several gentlemen from Tanjiazhai. Finally, an old man with white hair was carried out of the back house room.
The back house is farthest from the front, so the people with the tiger-character flag attack from the front entrance.
In order to survive, these old men in Tanjiazhai didn't care about any ethics, so they all broke into the back house to hide. For them, it was good to be able to hide for an extra quarter of an hour.
As for the young men and thugs, most of them were arrested as early as in the middle courtyard, and those arrested in the back house were all people surnamed Tan.
"Who is in charge of this village?" Ran Tiancun looked at the few men in front of him who were captured from the back house.
It is easy to distinguish these people from their clothes, and you can tell at a glance that they are all from the powerful class of Tanjiazhai.
The ordinary people in the village have sallow faces and thin muscles, rough and black hands, and their clothes are patches piled one on top of another. Even if they wear exquisite and luxurious clothes, they don't look like rich and powerful people.
The people in question all looked at Tan Qingchun, the leader of the Tanjiazhai clan.
Seeing this, Ran Tiancun looked over and said with a smile: "It seems that you are the eldest boss of this village!"
"It's me." Regardless of whether he was pretending to be confident, Tan Qingchun still looked very stable on the surface, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
"Just admit it and take it away!" Ran Tiancun waved.
Two soldiers walked up and escorted Tan Qingchun out, one on the left and the other on the right.
"You can't arrest me. I have a reputation for success. I am a civil servant. I have a reputation for success." "When Tan Qingchun saw that the other party was trying to arrest him, he became frightened. He shouted loudly and revealed his identity as a scholar.
Scholars have always been respected by people, especially those who have achieved fame, that is, they are superiors. Ordinary people will call them "Master Juren" when they see them.
Unfortunately, such an identity is of no use in Ran Tiancun's eyes.
Not to mention a person who has been promoted, he has also arrested even Jinshi.
No matter how much he shouted, Tan Qingchun was still forcibly escorted out.
The remaining members of the Tan family were even more trembling, fearing that they would also be taken away.
"What's wrong with this man? Is he dead?" Ran Tiancun looked at the old man with white hair lying on the ground.
The other party was carried out of the room by the people of the Tiger Flag, and then placed directly on the open space in the yard. At this time, the person's eyes were still closed, and he looked almost dead.
"He's not dead, he must have fainted from shock." A soldier on the side explained.
The person was moved out of the room by him and another companion. He had the most say in whether the person died. At least when he moved out, the person was still alive.
"The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds." Ran Tiancun curled his lips.
Naturally, I am not talking about the soldier who moved the person out of the room, but about the old man with white hair lying on the ground.
It is very difficult to distinguish whether a person is really fainting or pretending to be fainted, especially when he is lying on such a cold ground and is old, and some small movements have long betrayed him.
However, when some people face danger, they often pretend not to see it, as if they think that as long as they pretend not to see it, the danger will not fall on them.
"Take everyone away, find a place to imprison them first, and hand them over to Ying Zheng for disposal." Ran Tiancun ordered.
There are many empty rooms in this big house, and these people are rich and wealthy.
"What should I do with this fainted man?" A soldier nearby looked at the old man with white hair on the ground.
Ran Tiancun looked at the slightly trembling little fingers of the old man with white hair and said, "Find a basin of cold water and pour the person awake. If you can't wake him up, just chop him up and feed him to the dog."
"Yes." The soldier responded.
Tanjiazhai was captured.
Xu Guang's mission is to threaten Jinan Prefecture and share the pressure for the main force of the Tiger Flag coming to the state.
This also made it impossible for him and his soldiers to stay in Tanjiazhai for a long time, and there was no time to stay to manage Tanjiazhai.
So Xu Guang chose the simplest way to solve the problem in Tanjiazhai.
The patriarch of Tanjiazhai, Tan Qingchun, and several lords were directly executed, and then a team of manpower was left to sort out Tanjiazhai, establish a farmers' association, divide the fields, and a series of other measures.
All the thugs raised by the Tan family were taken away and worked with the army as coolies.
Tanjiazhai was just a place with some slight resistance that Xu Guang encountered on the ground in Jinan Prefecture.
There are many places like this on the ground in Jinan Prefecture.
In order to ensure their own safety and their own wealth, the local gentry and tyrants either stayed and formed strongholds to protect themselves, or fled to the nearest city.
Among them, Licheng, where Jinan Prefecture is located, many rural squires fled to Licheng.
Xu Guang did not attack Licheng, which had strong walls and high walls, nor did he even send troops to encircle it. Instead, he kept cruising in other places in Jinan Prefecture.
Fu Zonglong took away a large number of soldiers and horses from Jinan Prefecture and Liaocheng. Only a few Ming troops remained, and some of them were soldiers and horses from the garrison.
Facing the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses led by Xu Guang, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Apart from closing the city gate tightly, the only thing they could do was to ask Fu Zonglong for help.
Ask Fu Zonglong to lead his troops back to Jinan Prefecture to put down the rebellion.
The resistance Xu Guang encountered in Jinan Prefecture did not come from the Ming army, but from the local people recruited by the local gentry themselves.
However, the Tiger Character Banner is different from ordinary anti-thief forces. It not only has powerful military equipment, but also has its own local governance methods to win over the people.
Powerful military equipment is used to crack open the shells of those resisting forces, and then use a series of political methods to win over the people at the bottom, push all the forces that resist the Tiger Flag to the opposite side of the people, and then gather and annihilate them.
Soon, peasant associations were blooming all over Jinan Prefecture.
Although the tiger character flag has only existed in these places for a short time and cannot completely win over the people, the people who have benefited naturally began to maintain peasant associations and fight on their own with those who want to regain their land and impose heavy taxes on them. forces confront each other.
