Turbulent Times Chapter 1480: The base area behind the enemy and the Fanyang Copper Yuan

There is a small hill between Xiaohe Village and Xiaohe Town. The mountain is not high, only more than ten feet, but it lies between Xiaohe Town and Xiaohe Village. If you go from Xiaohe Town to Xiaohe Village, you must avoid this hill , You need to go around seven or eight miles of mountain roads to enter Xiaohezhai.

There is a large-scale temple on the top of the mountain. Li Xuanba followed the temple and controlled the small hill, blocking the path from Xiaohe Town to Xiaohezhai.

There were a lot of defenders in Xiaohe Town. Thousands of people ran out in an attempt to retake the hill, but they were easily routed by the soldiers of the Violent Bear Battalion led by Li Xuanba, so they guarded the town and did not dare to come out.

After about half an hour, Li Xuanba leaned on the temple and stood firm on the top of the hill. The Wagang Army from the direction of Xiaohezhai arrived late, with more than 3,000 people.

According to the topography of the hill, Li Xuanba mainly used bow formations to shoot and kill, and finally led people to charge for a while, and killed the more than 3,000 people.

At this time, Li Jing led the main force of the Violent Bear Battalion, and they had already marched towards Xiaohe Town under the eyes of Xiaohezhai.

Seeing that the Far Eastern Army entered Xiaohe Town more and more soldiers and horses, the defenders in Xiaohe Town completely gave up their intention to attack Li Xuanba on the small hill with the Wagang Army of Xiaohe Village.

Then, Li Xuanba took his time to attack Xiaohe Village.

In less than half a stick of incense, Xiaohe village could not hold on. Five thousand so-called elite Wagang troops abandoned hundreds of wounded soldiers and hurriedly retreated to the other side of the mountain forest after nearly half of their casualties. I wanted to catch up, but was dissuaded by Li Jing.

Li Xuanba is fond of war, if he is allowed to fight according to his temperament, he will definitely invade Xiaohe Town with a superior force, and then go on a rampage, but in the battle plan, after forming a siege to Xiaohe Town, Persuade surrender should be given priority.

In fact, for the terrain around Wagangzhai, there was an almost identical model in the Fanyang County Operational Conference Hall as early as half a year ago. Because of the importance of its strategic location, Xiaohe Town will occupy an extremely important position in Wang Junlin's plan, and it must not be massacred, because this place is an excellent place to develop into a base area behind the enemy's rear.

As long as dangerous barriers are built at both ends, the Wagang Army can be blocked out. Xiaohe Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

For this reason, long before Li Xuanba and Li Jing led the Violent Bear Battalion into the Wagang Army's sphere of influence, the Military Intelligence Office, Wulin Guild, and Fanyang Chamber of Commerce had already done a lot of work here, sending various people to help them with their own strengths. This identity has infiltrated here in advance, and even three of the thousand dead soldiers sent by Nie Xiaoyu from Snake Island two years ago are here, and now they have become the masters of the underground gang in the town.

Li Xuanba didn't bother to pay attention to how things in Xiaohe Town were going on, but Li Jing was shocked and embarrassed after being told what was happening in Xiaohe Town at this time by the accompanying military personnel.

Li Jing carefully studied the terrain and deployment of the Wagang Army during this period of time, and finally discovered the importance of the geographical location of Xiaohe Town, but he only thought that the army must control this place before entering the hinterland of the Wagang Army. In order to ensure that advance can be attacked and retreat can be defended.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Junlin, who was far away in Fanyang County, had been eyeing this place for a long time, and Wang Junlin had sufficient preparations for this place, and even planned to establish some enemy's rear base here.

Li Jing didn't understand the meaning of the words "base area behind the enemy's rear" at first, but after he read the "Related Plans for the Operation of Base Areas in Xiaohe Town" signed by Wang Junlin himself, he was very moved by Wang Junlin's heart /

Shocked by strength and wisdom.

Since Wang Junlin wants to develop the enemy's rear base here, it is naturally best to be able to disarm Xiaohe Town without bloodshed.

The stone wall surrounding Xiaohe Town is tall and thick, which can effectively prevent bandits from raiding, but it is not as good as a regular city wall after all.

A few grenades can easily blow down the city wall.

In order to cooperate with what happened in Xiaohe Town, Li Jing asked Li Xuanba to lead the Violent Bear Battalion into a visible open space outside Xiaohe Town to stand by.

Before sunset, a mutiny broke out in Xiaohe Town.

The 10,000 soldiers in Xiaohe Town who were loyal to the Wagang village persisted in not surrendering. More than 1,000 men from three big families in Xiaohe Town and 200 soldiers guarding the gate from the underground gangs in Xiaohe Town opened the gate of the village to surrender. I didn't expect that things were not confidential, and the Wagang defenders in Xiaohe Town noticed that it was abnormal, and there was a massacre inside.

Fortunately, the city gate was opened, Li Xuanba's leader with glowing eyes rushed in, quickly controlled the scene, surrounded and killed most of the 10,000 soldiers loyal to Wagang Village, and the other half knelt down and surrendered.

Even so, more than 300 people in Xiaohe Town accidentally injured more than 300 people, and there was a lot of crying.

Li Xuanba didn't care about these things, he was used to seeing casualties, even if tens of thousands of corpses were piled up in front of him, he would still chew meat pie without changing his face.

After taking control of Xiaohe Town, Li Jing and Li Xuanba led the Storm Bear Battalion to set up camp in a relatively open area fifteen miles southwest of Xiaohe Town, temporarily blocking the hinterland of Wagang Village from entering Xiaohe. At the intersection of the town, Xiaohe Town was also handed over to another group of people sent by Wang Junlin.

This group of people is very mixed. There are farmers who are good at planting new farms in Fanyang County, craftsmen who are good at building waterwheels and dams, students who graduated from Fanyang Academy, and of course a group of young people carefully selected by Du Ruhui. In addition, there are personnel from the Military Intelligence Office, Fanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xiaoyu Theater, and Wulin Guild.

The one who led these people here was Wei Zheng. Before he came here, he and all the key elements who came to Xiaohe Town this time were sent to Snake Island and accepted the three-part plan organized by Nie Xiaoyu himself on the establishment of a base area behind the enemy. Monthly special study and training.

In addition, there is also a 10,000-man army from the Far East miraculously appearing in the town. They will be stationed in Xiaohe Town for a long time. The leader of the 10,000 men is the big thief who just finished training on Snake Island. Shouli Shanfei, most of the 10,000 people are also bandits under his command. Of course, these people have been sent to Snake Island this year to receive the training and baptism prepared by Nie Xiaoyu for them, and turned into an army.

Li Shanfei took orders from Wei Zheng. He led 10,000 horses, wearing uniform military uniforms, and entered Xiaohe Town with neat steps. Except for 2,000 people who took over the defense of Xiaohe Town, the main force was stationed on the side of Xiaohe Town. Xiaohezhai on the mountainside.

The Far Eastern Army took control of Xiaohe Town not in the name of the Great Sui Dynasty, but in the name of the famous King of Qin'an, Wang Junlin.

It may be because Wang Junlin's reputation and reputation in Xiaohe Town are very good, or it may be because the Far Eastern Army has never killed people indiscriminately after entering the town, let alone plundered the money and food of the people in the town and harmed the women in the town. After the initial panic, most people have accepted the fact that they are controlled by the Far Eastern Army.

What's more, in their view, it's nothing more than changing a group of officials to collect food and taxes, and life will continue in the same way. Under the public opinion propaganda of the Military Intelligence Office and Xiaoyu Theater, it has already spread all over the world.

Because the battle to win Xiaohe Town was not too fierce, except for most of the Wagang soldiers loyal to Wagang Village who were wiped out, when

More than 100 Xiangyong were recruited by the local government, and more than 100 Xiangyong were killed or injured, and more than 100 Xiangyong were handed over and detained in a monastery on the top of the mountain in Houshan.

The families whose sons died were naturally heartbroken and took the corpses and wrapped them in straw mats for burial; the families where the sons were imprisoned in a centralized manner, although they heard the big family in the town promised that the Far Eastern Army would release them and let the past go, but they couldn’t see it. When he was released, he still felt extremely uneasy.

Even the big households in the town felt uneasy, worried that the Far Eastern Army would pursue their crimes. After all, they had strongly supported the Wagang Army before.

What's more, judging from their experience, they were worried that the Far Eastern Army would plunder and blackmail the place. At the same time, they thought that this was the territory of Wagangzhai. Although the Far Eastern Army was powerful, there were not many people coming. So I am worried that the Wagang Army will counterattack and come back.

The big households in the town, headed by the Zheng family and Zheng Chengjie, surrounded Wei Zheng who had a gentle smile on his face and expressed their loyalty; at the same time, they did not dare to neglect. Fifty sheep and two thousand taels of silver were sent overnight to Li Shanfei's barracks in Xiaohe Village.

Li Shanfei said here that the local donated materials will be received by another official sent by the political officer Wei Zheng, and the army can only buy food, cattle and sheep at market prices. The silver was confiscated, and two large boxes of copper coins were returned to the big households in the town.

When did the big households in the town see an army acting like this, they were even more disturbed.

Dozens of heads of large households gathered in the Zheng family mansion, looking at the two bags of exquisite copper coins produced by the Fanyang county money factory, worrying.

With the advent of troubled times, as early as a few years ago, the copper coins of the Sui Dynasty were affected by various counterfeit copper coins, and became less and less valuable. silver.

As early as three years ago, Wang Junlin had already unified the currency in all counties and counties under his rule, including more than a thousand overseas islands, Annan Kingdom on the Goguryeo Peninsula, and even established a complete currency factory.

By controlling the currency, Wang Junlin Group's annual profit is not less than five million taels of silver.

The copper coins minted by the Mint in Fanyang County are not only exquisite in pattern and meticulous in workmanship, but also of sufficient weight. Counties and counties of other surrounding forces gradually only recognize Fan Yang coins.

When the Far Eastern Army captured a place, Fan Yang Coins first flooded the market and became the only trading currency in the market.

What's more, through the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xiaoyu Theater, a large amount of materials were traded to the localities, and in the end all the money made flowed to the localities. Now Fanyang coins have been widely circulated in the world.

In just two or three years, Fanyang coins in Hebei, Hedong, Northwest, Guanzhong, Henan, Jianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Lianghu, including all areas controlled by the Sui court, and Wagangzhai controlled It has firmly occupied the market.

So, the big family in Xiaohe Town have seen Fan Yangqian for a long time.

The most common Fanyang copper coin is ten coins, and its price in the market can be equivalent to hundreds of old copper coins in the Sui Dynasty.

It is said that this ratio is too exaggerated, but Fan Yang copper coins are relatively abundant, with fine copper color and exquisite patterns, which are absolutely difficult to imitate. Compared with the crude money made by the local government and the Sui court, everyone in the world knows that Fan Yang's copper coins are precious, not to mention that with Fan Yang's copper coins, they can go to Wang Junlin's rule to purchase food, tools, ships and other things at any time, so no one is willing to treat Fan Yang's coins. The copper dollar boycotted.

Even now there are tens of thousands of Fanyang coins accumulated in Wagang Village, Li Mi is going to send someone to pretend to be in Fanyang County to purchase food and some utensils.
