Chang Shiren, who received the order, was ready to set off on his way home without waiting for the order from the Ministry of War. Dengzhou Camp stayed in Yunyang for two months, and it was already mid-September when he left. This time he came out, the combat effectiveness of Dengzhou Yi Battalion was tested and he was labeled as a "fairy town". Chang Shiren and Wang Ben "make an indelible contribution". Anyway, Chen Xie didn't care about this label.
Dengzhou Camp was not another Ming army. When he was staying in Yunyang, the bandits basically walked around. After getting out of the trap, the bandits ran away in multiple directions, and they all came to Huguang. When they heard that the Dengzhou Camp was in Yunyang, they stopped moving. The bandits who had previously rampant in the six counties of Yunyang also ran away cleanly.
The Dengzhou camp army was strict and did not violate the people. This reputation had already become popular. The garrison in Yunyang naturally had to deal with local merchants. The fried noodles were for refugees. After transporting away 20,000 refugees, they consumed almost the same amount. I was tired of eating canned biscuits and bought meat and vegetables from the local area, and they were all fair in buying and selling. Many people earned a lot by buying vegetables for Dengzhou camp.
Deng Laoer is one of them. An ordinary self-cultivated farmer has more than ten acres of land at home, all of which were passed down from his ancestors. Dengzhou Camp is stationed in Yunyang. He was not having a good life, so he earned more than farming by buying vegetables and reselling meat. There are many similar people, and they all hope that Dengzhou Camp will leave. Such a good army has been comparable to Yue's army since ancient times.
Before it was dark, I quickly sent a truck of vegetables to Dengzhou Camp. It was still so straightforward when checking out, and the silver round could buzz. Deng Lao Er, who was in a good mood, was about to leave, and was stopped by the logistics officer: "That, don't send it tomorrow."
Deng Laoer was stunned and thought he wanted to bribe. Just as he was thinking about how much to give him, someone told him: "Don't get me wrong. We have received a military order and we are going to start." What? Dengzhou Camp is leaving. For Deng Laoer, it is really like a bolt from the blue. After only a few good days, why is Dengzhou Camp leaving?
While rushing the car back in a daze, Hou Er from the same village greeted him enviously: "How much has Deng Laoer earned? You kid, you have made a fortune. Unlike me, you can only carry on the dock as a coolie."
Deng Laoer looked at this guy from the same village and said angrily: "Go quickly, there will be no work tomorrow. Dengzhou Camp is leaving." What? Hou Er was also stunned. What's going on?
The news spread ten times, and ten times spread a hundred times. The entire surrounding area of Yunyang was known overnight. The prefect Jiang in the city also knew it and went out of the city overnight to find Wu Zhi. Although he was a civil servant, an army like Dengzhou Camp, he wanted to stay in Yunyang during his term of office. Reason? Does this require a reason? Dengzhou Camp stayed in Yunyang, and the thieves dared not come. The military discipline of the army was strict, and the transactions were fair, and they never disturbed the people. Putting aside the Dengzhou Camp's disobedience to discipline the civil servants, everything else was a model of the best army.
"Master Jiang, stop talking. Our family has received the order and is going back to the capital." Wu Zhi had no intention of paying attention to him and sent him directly. He said that he had been comfortable over the years, but he couldn't resist the civil officials and insisted on labeling a vassal state on Chen Xie's forehead. Now the emperor issued an order to severely rebuke him, so he had to say goodbye to Chang Shiren and go back to the capital. I don't know what happened when I go back.
The prefect Jiang found Chang Shiren and said something about keeping people. You are already a vassal state, don’t care what others say. Anyway, you are talking around the corner, that’s what it means. The prefect Jiang was really afraid. The previous governor’s family was also surnamed Jiang, and he was brought down by a thief.
Chang Shiren sighed and said, "It's not that we want to leave, it's that there are people in the court that can't tolerate me in Dengzhou camp."
The next morning, when Dengzhouying was on the road, the scene of the people sending each other ten miles away again. Dengzhouying was stationed in Yunyang for two months, but there was no incident that disturbed the people. Not only that, when wheat harvesting, it helped to do farm work and repair the canal. It was fine if you live in the houses of the people and give the houses. How many families' houses have been renovated by the soldiers in the past two months? I can't count them clearly. These soldiers are so good! Why did such good soldiers leave?
Tens of thousands of people who saw him go and cried. Local literati recorded that on September 13, when Dengzhou camp was gone, 50,000 Yunyang's fathers and elders saw each other ten miles away, crying sounded and the reluctance of the sky moved. That night, it rained lightly in Yunyang during the long drought, and the elders said: This is the heaven that pity the creatures in Yunyang.
On the surface, the Dengzhou Camp is not accepted by the civil servants, but in fact it is another scene. Local officials in Henan are looking forward to the Dengzhou Camp transit. As long as the Dengzhou Camp comes, the thieves will have to turn around and run away. In the current battlefield of the Central Plains, there are two opponents that the thieves dare not provoke. One is Lu Xiangsheng, and the thieves have nicknamed "King of Hell". The other is Dengzhou Camp, which has not been nicknamed. However, as long as you see the Dengzhou Camp, the thieves within fifty miles will flee.
As soon as Dengzhou Camp entered Henan, Yuan Mo, who was in a state of great trouble, received good news and the thieves disappeared. What was too much, Dengzhou Camp was still in the southernmost part of Henan, and the thieves in Luoyang also ran away. It is said that because Dengzhou Camp entered Henan, he was afraid of being missed.
Chang Shiren led his troops to travel in Henan for half a month, and the bandits were in a state of scattered in Henan for half a month. Dengzhou Camp left Yunyang for only five days, and the bandits' scouts moved in Yunyang.
A strange scenery appeared in the march of Dengzhou Camp. Dengzhou Camp walked in front, and more than 10,000 people followed behind. No matter how they persuaded, Chang Shiren could only order the troops to slow down the marching speed. If they were willing, they would follow. More than a thousand of these people were the people of Yunyang, and people continued to join them along the way. Chang Shiren was worried that the people would be harassed by the officers and soldiers, so he sent the cavalry to serve as protection. The remaining fried noodles were given to these people, and they often gave them some food that they had not finished.
Even so, hundreds of these people died on the road. When they left Henan, they followed the Dengzhou camp and over 20,000 people. When they saw this formation, Chang Shiren was also stunned. At the beginning, one or two thousand people followed, and now there are so many people, and there is still a growth trend. Many of them are hungry, skinny and hungry, and can't even walk back to Denglai?
Chang Shiren quickly ordered to stop moving forward and sent someone to Dengzhou to report the situation. At the same time, he took out all the silver dollars he brought to buy food and cooked porridge at the camp for hungry people to eat. At least he had a few days of meal before he could get the strength to go on the road.
To be honest, Chang Shiren was quite nervous about this decision. After all, he brought so many people back without asking for instructions. Another thing is that the consumption of so many people's two meals of porridge a day is amazing. Even if Chang Shiren uses all the silver balls, he can't last for half a month. But he can't just go on the road like this. Most refugees are in poor health. They just walk to Dengzhou like this. I really can't imagine how many people can be left.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, a long lineup was lined up. The soldiers in Dengzhou camp were kind, but there was a prerequisite, you had to abide by the rules. Whenever someone was sent to the line and the soldiers on duty saw it, they immediately pulled it out and beat it up, and then tied it to the stake next to the camp to show the public. This deterrent effect was very obvious. Some hungry and uncomfortable hungry people were sniffing the fragrance in the air and slowly moved forward.
Chang Shiren took a look at it specifically. It is not necessary to put a pot of porridge and chopsticks in it. The porridge was filled with diced lunch meat. Speaking of this lunch meat, the soldiers loved it at first, but now they all feel nauseous when they see it. It is really miserable to eat this every day.
The family of three made hot porridge. When they walked past Chang Shiren, they suddenly cheered: "There is meat!"
This scene made Chang Shiren feel very comfortable, and he felt that it was worth it even if he was scolded to death when he went back.
Chen Xie did not ask Chang Shiren to wait too long, but after 10 days of rest, the power of the high-speed operation of the United Shop commercial machine was reflected. Two hundred cars of fried noodles were sent at a time, and each person sent a bag of them, and walked on the road with his back. He was in poor health and could also take the return carriage to the road.
Just like that, when he returned to Dengzhou, the hungry people following the team reached an astonishing 35,000. When he arrived in Huang County, Chang Shiren saw a cavalry coming up in front of him and immediately met him. He saw the flag that the general was coming. A dozen steps away, Chen Xie dismounted and stepped forward.
"Salute!" Chang Shiren gave the order, and the officer behind him stood at attention neatly. Chen Xie smiled and raised his hand to reply when he came forward, standing in front of the officers. "Thank you for your hard work! You did a beautiful job!" Chen Xie said to Chang Shiren, reaching out to pat his shoulder to express his intimacy.
Seeing Wang Ben, Chen Xie was happy and raised his hand to hit his chest gently: "You boy, you are so kind! Not bad, I'm not embarrassed."
The officers all spoke next to each other, and Chen Xie finished it. After that, he announced that everyone would return to Dengzhou and all had ten days off.
Chang Shiren whispered uneasy: "Master, I have not asked for instructions from my job, so I brought so many people back. Please punish me."
Chen Xie smiled and said, "What should I punish you? I should reward you well. What you see is the burden, what I see is the hearts of the people. So many people followed him back to Dengzhou, which means that you are doing a good job this time. Wang Qinian has a lot of wasteland, so there is a shortage of population to plant. And there is a collective farm there, which is the most suitable for these foreign populations."
After getting out of trouble at the Cheqian Gorge, Li Zicheng killed all the appeasers, walked to the west, broke into Longzhou, and advanced to Fengxiang, Baoji, Jingyang, and Liquan. Tens of thousands of peasant troops in Luoyang came to meet, and Guanzhong was in great shock. Qi Yu sent general He Renlong to attack him. On the 19th day of the leap month, Zicheng surrounded He Renlong in Longzhou (now Long County, Shaanxi). He Renlong, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, was first subordinate to Hong Chengchou, and later followed Qi Yu. Zicheng used Renlong as a fellow villager, so he sent a letter to ask Renlong to surrender. Renlong refused and defended Longzhou for two months. Governor Hong Chengchou issued an order to support Zuo Guang first to support Longzhou. Li Zichengcai led his army to rescue him.
The situation of the domestic war was as Chen Xie expected, because of the loss of the commander-in-chief, the siege of the bandits was in chaos for a while, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became uncontrollable.r1152
