Chapter 1057: Turn over the clouds
Chapter 1057: Turn over the clouds
The long procession passed slowly on the official road. Wang Yan was lying lazily in the carriage, with Hua Lan and Shulan pressing his thighs on the left and right, chatting without a word.
In front of and behind the two carriages in the center, there were dozens of sergeants on each side, wearing brand-new armor, carrying long spears with a cold light on their shoulders, and quivers and hard crossbows on their waists. With every step, the beetle leaves fluttered and rustled.
Armor, crossbows, etc. are naturally contraband, and even long guns take time to make. The gun head is easy to say, and although the gun shaft is not as complicated as high-end weapons, it still needs to go through multiple processes to ensure the toughness of the gun rod, etc. . A small amount is easy to talk about, but a large amount is difficult.
The armor and weapons originally equipped by the Xiang army were not complete, and they were all defective products that had been eliminated. Since Wang Yan has organized and trained Xiang troops and elite soldiers, he cannot mess around with things.
The weapons and equipment of these soldiers were all new. It was a long and tedious process, with official documents going back and forth between the three yamen, the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and even Zhao Zhen. After much communication, the Hangzhou Yamen finally spent a high price to buy these weapons and equipment back.
The team was well-organized and marched slowly along the official road.
At this time, all the well-armed people came running over. He did not dare to look at the situation inside the car. He just reached the side of the car and handed over his hands, walking at the speed of the car: "For the judge, there may be something going on."
"explain."
"The brother who opened the way hasn't come back. I'm afraid something happened."
Wang Yan came out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, stretched out his arms to relax his muscles, and looked around. He calmly ordered: "Be on guard."
"Yes."
Dutou responded loudly, and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "The entire army is on alert, raise your shields."
The next moment, everyone started to move with a roar. The little maid who was walking on the ground quickly ran into the carriage. The guards and soldiers all raised their large shields at an angle. The cooks and followers who were cooking and purchasing behind were all holding things to protect their heads. Wang Yan even I saw his fat cook holding the inner wall of a large iron pot on his head.
As for the horses, there are soldiers standing together with shields raised, just for fear of hurting the horses...
War always breaks out suddenly. He stopped his progress here and raised his shield to face the enemy. The next moment, he heard the sound of swishing through the air.
Wang Yan looked up and saw a swarm of arrows attacking in the sky in front of him and to the right of the team. He smiled softly and got back into the car.
Immediately afterwards, there was a jingling sound, as arrows fell from a high altitude, hitting the roof of the carriage and hitting the shield.
Wang Yan held Hualan and Shulan in each hand, who were trembling.
"There is no need to be afraid, they are just rats. After this incident, the matter in Hangzhou is settled. You two just stay peacefully in the carriage, and you will know whether they come back or not in a moment."
Hualan and Shulan hugged Wang Yan tightly and told Wang Yan not to be brave. They hid in the carriage with them and waited for reinforcements.
Of course Wang Yan would not listen. He comforted the two of them in a good voice. Until the arrow rain stopped and the shouts of killing came, he walked out and stood on the carriage.
"Tong San, it's better to hide. The trumpet arrows have been fired. Reinforcements will be here in a moment." Du Tou ran over and showed concern for Wang Yan.
"You are the boss." Wang Yan lowered his head and glanced at him lightly.
It was that look that made the man who wanted to show off feel as if his head was being electrocuted. He ran away quickly and shouted to his soldiers to organize a defense.
Wang Yan stood on the carriage with his hands behind his hands, looking around at the scene.
The arrows came from two directions: the front and the right, but at this moment, those who were charging this way were coming from all directions, encircling them, not wanting to leave a single person alive. Looking at the scale, I roughly estimated that there were no less than 600 people.
Moreover, those who were charging forward were all armed with armor, and some were shooting with crossbows. There are also dozens of cavalry, equipped with armored cavalry, all of which are fine war horses. The knights' arms were all carrying long horsetails, and they were all covered with face armor. He charged forward menacingly, showing great power.
Although they were out of alignment and lacked coordination with each other, these people were all considered elite. It's just that there is a lack of collective and institutional training and it is not an army.
Wang Yan was very happy about this scene. Because the matter is bigger, involving weapons, it can also involve a large number of people, and the scope of the attack is wider.
Wang Yan casually grabbed the arrow that was shot, turned back to the two women who carefully opened the curtain to watch the scene outside and said with a smile: "Be careful of stray arrows, hide behind."
While talking, Wang Yan fiddled with the side of the carriage, pulled out a board from the left and right sides, and installed it in the slot reserved at the entrance of the carriage. This is an iron plate, and its defense is still sufficient.
After this, Wang Yan called out: "Dongliang, bring your bow and arrows."
"Already prepared, Alang." Dongliang chuckled, handed over a bow, and then took the boss's backpack full of arrows and slammed it on the carriage.
Wang Yan easily bent his bow and nocked an arrow, then let go of his hand without even taking aim. The arrow flew away from the string, and the person who fired the cold arrow in the distance was nailed through the throat. Then there was a volley of arrows, accurately hitting the enemy. Some kill them directly, while others destroy their combat effectiveness and leave them alive.
The soldiers of the Xiang army formed a formation to resist, and they all risked their lives to prevent the enemy from passing through and injuring Wang Yan. This is due to Wang Yan's good reputation. They are willing to believe that as long as Wang Yan lives, even if they die, their family members will receive preferential treatment, instead of dying in vain and having their family members bullied.
Although he kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, Wang Yan was also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. Overall, the combat effectiveness of the Xiang Army is still superior, but it is inferior to the collective combat training of an organized system. When the enemy comes, they will not attack together. There is some tacit understanding between each other, but not much. They are all small groups. There are some connections, but they are not strong. There are no rules and regulations, and they are all wild ways.
It's understandable, after all, it's a temporary team. And their weapons are not all standard. Long spears, short knives, etc., good and bad.
So when it comes to killing people, the gap will be reflected. Although there are many of them, so many people are not crowded in together, and they are all facing the same people at the same time. The soldiers of the Xiang Army were just like they had been training exhaustingly in the past, stabbing and stabbing with spears in hand, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. They stabbed each other, some blocked and others fired.
Of course, panic is inevitable. This is the first official battle after training. In the past, I ran directly to ransack the house. Although there was some resistance, it was just a small fight. It is not as good as now, where people are dying all the time.
However, after the initial panic, due to the influence of the collective force, the muscle memory of long-term training was naturally used. Without thinking about anything, you know when to stab and where to stab. This is the necessary meaning of military training.
Coupled with Wang Yan's precise support, one arrow was able to destroy one, and the difficult cavalry were basically dismounted by him. Overall, there are some problems, but not big ones...
But for this group of people who had already eaten meat and drank wine after receiving the money, and swore a blood oath not to repay the money until they killed the king, the problem was too big.
They had seen Wang Yan from a distance, and they all knew that the man standing on the carriage, smiling and shooting with a bow, was Wang Yan. But even if they couldn't break through, the cold arrows they fired would be easily caught by Wang Yan, and then without stopping, the person who fired the cold arrows would be shot to death with perfect accuracy.
They could only watch helplessly. Wang Yan seemed to be tireless, mechanically repeating the action of drawing the bow and shooting arrows. Every time he shot, the bravest person, the loudest shouter, the person who shouted and commanded, in short, were more Those who stand out will surely fall with Wang Yan's arrows.
The arrows were as powerful as thunder and as heavy as a thousand arrows. Some of them could even penetrate the human body and kill the people behind them. Some of them pierced the ground and did not penetrate halfway. Some people were wearing armor, and when they fired an arrow, there was such a loud sound that the person hit fell backwards, and even penetrated the helmet directly. It’s so hard to watch that one can’t help but feel his Adam’s apple twitching and feel frightened…
The scene has been tense and inextricable. Although it wasn't a river of blood, hundreds of people died. Human energy and physical strength are limited, and fighting requires high mental stress. Each blow uses up half of the force. After the first moment, the rest is a competition of will. The shouts of killing became quieter, and the speed of chopping and stabbing became slower.
Only Wang Yan was still drawing his bow and setting an arrow. It's just that his speed is getting slower and slower, and sometimes he doesn't even shoot out, but just opens his bow. The enemies on the side visible to the naked eye pointed at the arrow paused for a moment. As the arrow moved away, they all let out a sigh of relief and gathered all their strength to continue breaking through the guards of the Xiang army and escorts. But when they stopped, several of them would be hacked to death by the Xiang army. Funny, but bloody.
"Master, we have run out of arrows."
"How many preparations are there?"
"One hundred and fifty." Xiao Dongliang looked at his master with admiration.
Wang Yan nodded, then jumped up and stood lightly on the roof of the higher carriage. He raised his hand high and shouted: "Stop."
Wang Yan is certainly powerful now. After all, he has always been the center of attention. Moreover, after playing for such a long time, everyone was tired and wanted to take advantage of the slope to catch their breath.
So after Wang Yan's words fell, the two groups who were fighting for life and death took advantage of the last moment to strike hard a few times, then retreated and stopped killing each other.
Wang Yan continued: "At the beginning of the battle, you should have heard the sound of trumpets and arrows. The Xiang troops sent out to suppress the bandits are nearby. They should be surrounded on all sides now and will arrive in a short time. You are just here for There may be a few people who sacrifice their lives for money, but the majority of people have nothing to do with the official.
You all have great strength, and you are all bold and reckless people. I think you are a figure who usually dominates the countryside, and you may have a nickname in the world. I despise you the most, you are such a rat. All day long, the elder brother and the younger brother hang out together, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. But since I took office, I have been in trouble with wealthy families. If not for this, people like you would have disappeared from Hangzhou long ago.
Killing officials today is tantamount to rebellion. When the reinforcements arrive, you will definitely die..."
While speaking, Wang Yan casually grabbed two arrows that were shot at him, then bent his bow and shot them back.
"A worm can shake a tree without overestimating its own capabilities." Wang Yan shook his head, smiled, and continued to speak, "I will give you a chance to survive. You will be captured now. After you cooperate with the state government's investigation, you can go to the border to join the army and fight. A chance to survive. If you don't comply, I guarantee that it will be difficult for you to die. As for the wealthy families who employ you, you can rest assured that their fate will be even more miserable."
"Brothers, don't listen to this bitch...ah..."
But it was Wang Yan who pulled an arrow from the carriage and hit the man's shoulder blade directly. Then Wang Yan kept moving and jumped directly from the roof of the carriage, separated from the guarding carriage troops, and strode up to the person who was speaking.
Without saying a word, he kicked the man in the stomach, kicked him to the side, and stood proudly surrounded by people: "I am here, come on, who dares to kill me?"
He turned in circles, facing the sword and gun and pressing forward. The people who came to surround him retreated hurriedly, so that Wang Yan turned around in a circle, forming a large open space like a scene that often appears in movies.
Wang Yan clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head with a smile: "Okay, for now, put down your weapons. As long as you cooperate with the investigation and tell everything you know, you can go to the border alive and have a chance to survive. I have always said Don't you agree? You still want to kill me?"
Walking in front of a trembling young man, Wang Yan smiled and said loudly: "Do you think that those wealthy families can continue to be rich? Do you think that if you kill me, your family will be safe? I am dead. , the court wants to investigate. I am not dead, I want to investigate. The rich and powerful have destroyed their families for me. Do you think that I am not as good as those people? I am still holding a weapon and destroying my family. …”
Before they even finished checking the ten numbers, these people collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. At the moment of life and death, they are still half dead from exhaustion, and they are also under tremendous pressure. Now that they are paralyzed on the ground, even if they get up again, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, making it impossible for them to succeed.
It was also at this time that dense footsteps began to be heard, and soon they surrounded the place.
It was at this moment that, for Wang Yan, the struggle in Hangzhou was over.
As previously thought, with these people in hand, the big businessmen in Hangzhou are already meat on the chopping board, and they can do whatever they say they can do. Just killing officials and rebelling is enough, not to mention the matter of military armaments. These two are bigger and more sensitive than the other.
In fact, things happening in Hangzhou are no longer limited to Hangzhou. What Wang Yan did in Hangzhou was quite excessive for the emperor, the officials, and the big families in the world. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the situation in Hangzhou.
Conservatives thought Wang Yan was too radical and studied Wang Yan thirty and twenty-five days a month. The reformists actually thought Wang Yan was radical. They didn't expect Wang Yan to be so radical. He used the power of local officials to the greatest extent possible and achieved what a state official could do to the extreme, and even exceeded it by a lot.
To a certain extent, Wang Yan is now the leading figure of the reformists. What determines the strength of a party is the attitude of the emperor. Whoever can satisfy the emperor will have a greater say in the matter. What Wang Yan did in Hangzhou also affected Zhao Zhen's attitude towards reform to a certain extent, thereby increasing the voice of the reformists.
Of course, there is still a big gap between the number one and the leader. The former opens the way forward, while the latter strives upward. The current leader is undoubtedly Fan Zhongyan...
After the team assembled, cleaning the battlefield and first aiding the wounded, Wang Yan sat in charge and arranged various tasks in an orderly manner. The most important one was to write an official document, send someone to Qiantang to deliver the message, call Manager Zhou over, and explain the situation to Fan Zhongyan. At the same time, people were sent to Lin'an to clear the prison and prepare the venue.
After appeasing Hualan and Shulan, they went directly to Lin'an.
Five days later, a vigorous purge began in Hangzhou. The land areas were not clear, the household registration was not checked, and the wealthy families in Hangzhou were left to work. At the same time, he expanded the struggle by killing officials to rebel and hiding weapons secretly, directly hitting Bianjing with a single blow.
Needless to say, all the officials who helped to put in good words in the past were implicated to a greater or lesser extent. The mild case may be demotion, and the serious case may be dismissal from office. The matter of soldiers and armor was even more serious. It was something that could be done but not said. Wang Yan pretended to be dumbfounded and had righteousness in his hands. No one could do anything about it. He pulled many people down, even the border troops. But that has nothing to do with Wang Yan. Although he will be hated by others, what does it matter...
Wang Yan is more concerned about local affairs in Hangzhou. He was in charge of the entire inspection of large households.
This time, the visitors from Beijing are still on their way. Wang Yan has a lot of room for manipulation. He does not base his list on who is guilty or who has criminal evidence, but on a list. Whoever has a large scale or a bad reputation will be eliminated this time.
It may be that someone said that he participated in the rebellion of killing officials, or it may be that when he went to investigate, he found weapons and equipment in his home.
There must be many people who saw that the situation was not good and ran away in advance. After all, as long as they escape Hangzhou, they are safe. Even if the Song Dynasty is no longer safe, you can still go to Liao, Xia, and Dali. They are all considered talents. Literary and able to read and write, he is welcomed wherever he goes.
Wang Yan doesn't care about this kind of fish that slips through the net, and it won't become a problem. If he were a wealthy family, the property he accumulated would be the land they annexed. As for the suffering of those caught, that is an additional interest.
All the things that were left unfinished when we were surrounded last time were completed this time.
Commercial taxes were levied, acres of land were cleared, and household registrations were checked. More importantly, it severely dealt a blow to Hangzhou's wealthy families, broke the old balance in Hangzhou, and reshaped the entire pattern of Hangzhou.
As for things like clearing up law enforcement in yamen and major construction projects in Hangzhou, that's all a process. The main purpose is to promote economic development and prosper all industries, and more importantly, to stabilize the people.
Overall, Hangzhou is basically ready. The rest is beyond the power of Wang Yan, a state official, and that is something done by a higher level.
As long as the successor adheres to the plan he set and continues to develop, it is said that it will be stable for at least fifty years. But obviously this is impossible. The world is a game of chess, and Hangzhou cannot survive alone.
The struggle in Hangzhou is over, but the bigger struggle has just begun...
Thanks to brother (Feifeifeifei is here) for the reward of 5000 coins for continued support.
