Chapter 277 Suppression of bandits (second update)

Beside the river bank, green willows dance gently in the wind, the vegetation is exuberant, full of vitality.

Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and other female relatives sat on the cloud chariot. This cloud chariot was carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen, and it was very spacious. The carriage drove slowly on the road.

Armored cavalry guards are heavily guarded at the front and rear.

The roads around Sihong were straightened by the craftsmen and laborers who specialize in road construction under the construction department. Many cloud carts can be seen speeding on both sides of the road.

"The cloud car made by the construction department is really useful. Whether it is transporting food and grass or traveling, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources... With this alone, Director Zhao has made a great contribution!"

When Wang Jing was traveling, he took Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others with him.

As for Shen Yi and Bu Zhi, they are too busy with their affairs.

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan have performed well during this time, and it can be seen that they are sincerely moving closer to the Huai army. It is also a gesture of acceptance for Wang Jing to take them with him when he travels.

While observing the scenery outside the city, Han Xizai couldn't help sighing when he saw the cloud car constantly speeding.

as he said.

The role of the cloud car is too great. Some time ago, Sihong had a good harvest of grain, and the government’s grain store began to purchase grain officially. The pile of grain was like a mountain. If these grains were transported to the granary, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources would be wasted.

With the cloud car, as long as the food is loaded into the car, the food will be delivered to the place within two or three days...

This speed has to make people sigh.

Han Xizai could imagine that when the Huai army went out in the future and the speed of transporting food and grass by cloud carts, there would definitely be no shortage of food in the army.

That's all.

The Huai army does not need to fight. When fighting with the princes who are short of food, as long as they can't hold on, they can grind the opponent to death.

The cloud car can also make the transportation in various parts of the Huai Army fast, and the circulation of goods can be accelerated, and the benefits are countless.

In the future, in terms of merits and rewards, Zhao Jianguo, the head of the construction department, is enough to be conferred on the merits of building the cloud car.

"Master Zhao's contribution is not small, I remember it in my heart... The cloud car is good, but the spirit stones consumed are not a small amount."

Wang Jing said.

He casually chatted with Han Xizai and Xu Xuan, and looked at the farmland in the distance from time to time. The rice in the farmland has started a new round of sowing and watering...

Many people are busy in the farmland, and it can be seen that there are smiles on the faces of these people.

Not long ago, the farmland had just had a bumper harvest, and Wang Jing also ordered that taxes be exempted for one year.

The grain after harvest is enough to support these people for one or two years.

There is a good harvest of grain, and there is no taxation.

There are no landlords, tyrants, ruffians and petty officials who come to exploit. The people of Sihong are all low-level peasants from various dynasties. How have they ever had such a happy life?

You must know that in the thousands of years of history of the world, most of the time the people were in dire straits.

Even a small part of the time period known as the prosperous age.

The common people also faced layers of exploitation by the government, local gentry, landlords, tax collectors, and ruffians. Ten percent of the food fell into their own hands, but only two or three percent.

Sometimes, there is not even two or three cents. Once the harvest is not good, you will be hungry, and you will either flee from famine or borrow money... In the end, you will sell your land, children and daughters, and your family will be ruined.

Their fields will eventually be concentrated in the hands of those landlords and gentry.

Land annexation is the root cause of the dynasty's demise.

Wang Jing's Huai army is still in the rising stage, and the land in the mainland of China is also vast enough that there has been no land annexation for the time being.

But such a thing needs to be prevented from happening.

When traveling.

Wang Jing would also subconsciously observe the farmland and the expressions of the people to judge their situation.

At this time, in the Huai Army, a large number of craftsmen and hard workers were constantly building roads, using the roads as meridians to connect the various territories of the Huai Army.

The cloud car is the "blood" flowing in the blood vessels, transporting all kinds of food and materials to places waiting for construction.

Every day, the strength of the Huai army is rising.

……

At the same time, within the territory of Shuyang Prefecture.

More than 3000 soldiers lined up at the foot of a mountain in a murderous spirit. There were many trees in the front of the mountain, and a cottage was located behind the trees and rocks, guarding the dangerous point.

There are a large number of people with swords, guns and bows in the cottage, relying on the mountain to confront the soldiers in the distance.

"General, this is the last rogue cottage in Lianshui County!"

A thousand households were in the army formation, reporting in a deep voice.

At this time, the general in command of the first battalion was Mu Chun, who had been promoted to guerrilla general for his many meritorious deeds.

He was wearing armor at this time, with a saber hanging on his waist, his eyes were like lightning, he was staring at the fortress in front of him, with a slight cold expression on his face, he looked like a general in command.

The traitorous spirit that he was originally the leader of Liangshan has completely disappeared.

"The last cottage..."

After Mu Chun took office as an official in the Shuyang Mansion, he was ordered to lead troops to suppress the bandits. The so-called bandits were the Shanzhai Wubao who refused to accept King Huai's rule, as well as those real bandits and horse thieves.

Sometimes, when Wubao encounters pedestrians passing by, it will block the road and plunder, and the nobles and bandits who built Wubao for self-defense can switch seamlessly.It's hard to tell.

But for the Huai army, if they can't tell, they can't tell.

Just cut the mess with a sharp knife, whether it is a wealthy family who normally built a dock, or a thief who really robbed and murdered, just sweep them away.

The cottage in front of you.

A large number of horse bandits and bandits who fled from the Huai army were taken in, and thousands of people gathered at this time.

"Since it's the last one, let's speed up and solve it as soon as possible!"

Mu Chun rode on the horse, holding the handle of the knife at his waist.

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

I don't know when, he and Chen Da have been reduced to the situation of leading troops to suppress bandits and deal with those thieves. In foreign wars, they were even quickly overtaken by Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng.

Both the status and authority in the army began to decline.Not only him, even his elder brother Mu Hong was overshadowed by Yang Kan.

It is said that Yang Kan is the enemy of ten thousand people and the first-class general in history.

It seems only natural that elder brother Mu Hong should be surpassed by him,

But Mu Chun couldn't tolerate this situation.

Swish!
He drew his sword, and if he wanted a higher status and authority, he had to make contributions. He must continue to make contributions and return to the sight of the king and others.

"The archers step forward, the sword and shield hands are ready to attack the stronghold!"

Mu Chun shouted sharply.

Following his orders, the archers began to quickly approach the cottage under the cover of shields.

Swish swish!
Arrows rained like shuttles, and they were thrown to the wall and back of the village like a dark cloud. When the arrows fell, screams rang out instantly.

kill!

Mu Chun's blood gushed out, and his whole body surged with Gang Qi.With a loud shout, after being covered with bows and arrows, he personally led people to attack the cottage.

In constant fighting.

He has already stepped into the level of Tier [-] General...

boom!
The fourth-tier military general personally took action, and under the impact of the stellar energy, all the stones and wooden stakes that hit Mu Chun were split open, and then there was a roar, and the gate of the cottage was bombarded by the stellar energy, and it exploded...
