I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven

"Well, what are the casualties?"

After hearing Wang Dahu's report, Dynasty was indeed very happy.

However, he was more concerned about the casualties.

After hearing this, Wang Dahu paused for a moment, then continued:

"Five brothers died, seven were seriously injured, and thirteen were slightly injured."

"Well, record the meritorious services and injured sergeants, and I will arrange for rewards and pensions! Death sergeant, you must find a way to send the pension money and food home.

Even if it cannot be done now, it must be recorded and distributed when the time comes.”

Chao Chao said solemnly, turning to look at Wang Sanshun and Zhou Wen behind him.

He has not yet set up a Military Merit and Justice Department. Rewards for meritorious service, promotions, pensions for injured sergeants, etc. are naturally controlled and distributed by him, Wang Sanshun of the Staff Department, and the commanders of the sentries and others.

However, he has also decided that after returning this time, he will set up departments such as the Military Justice Department and the Military Merit Department.

Moreover, after Wang Sanshun listened to Chao Chao's instructions, he immediately nodded vigorously and solemnly promised:

"Don't worry, chief. I'll find someone to arrange the records immediately. There won't be any mistakes."

"Well, now you and Master Zhou will take some people to transport the money and grain to the mountain for registration."

"yes!"

After Wang Sanshun left, Chao Chao talked to Wang Dahu about the current situation.

After listening, Wang Dahu also felt that if they all gathered together, they would be able to completely defeat the group of officers and soldiers.

After that, Wang Shi, Li Shu, and Wang Erniu also returned one after another.

By the end of the day, around four or five o'clock, everything was finally settled.

This time, everyone gained a lot, although not all of them scraped out a full two thousand taels of silver like the elder family in Dawangzhuang.

But the total, including gold, reached five thousand taels, and grain reached six thousand shi.

When hearing this number, the emperor couldn't help but click his tongue.

Who said that Ming Dynasty was short of money and food?

It is the court and the emperor who are short of food and money, not the gentry, landlords, officials and merchants below.

This was just a village official in the county, and he actually found out five thousand taels of silver.

If you include food and supplies, it would be enough for the Dynasty and them to persist for more than a year.

What about the big households in those counties and prefectures? Even those big merchants who travel to one province, or even several provinces, inside and outside the Ming Dynasty?

Really, I can’t even think about it.

If this money and food are concentrated and properly utilized, the Mongolian grasslands outside the country and the Manchu and Qing Tatars will be able to survive.

Haha, I guarantee they can sing and dance well.

Originally, after receiving another five thousand taels of silver and six thousand stones of food and supplies, the dynasty felt that if they spent a large amount of money to purchase food and supplies, they would be able to last at least more than a year.

However, when he learned that Wang Dahu and others, in addition to carrying money, food and supplies, also brought a large number of people to join them when they returned to Niaoshu Mountain.

Then they found out helplessly that, let alone more than a year, it would be difficult for them to persist for even half a year.

In every village, hundreds and nearly a thousand people joined them.

Although there are not only young and strong among them, but also old and weak, because they do not need to participate in military training, they do not need to consume so much food and materials.

However, when everyone was added together, the number of people gathered in Bird and Mouse Mountain had reached nearly 4,000.

Five thousand taels of silver and six thousand stones of food are really not much, and they can only last for half a year at most.

It seems that it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on this method to develop.

Involuntarily, Dynasty looked in the direction of Weiyuan County.

However, he quickly shook his head and rejected it, and could not attack the county seat yet.

Otherwise, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Ming court.

At that time, if the real regular army of the Ming Dynasty or even the border troops are encircled and suppressed, they will have no choice but to flee here, evade the encirclement and suppression of the army, and become wandering bandits.

The dynasty knew very well that rogue bandits would not be a problem.

If you want to really succeed, you must occupy a stable base.

As for a certain army in later generations, it also ran around, but it had a mass base.

What does the dynasty have? Does having a reputation as a bandit wanted by the court count?

However, he didn't have any other options to think of.

It is now August 16th. According to history, Emperor Tianqi will die on August 22nd, and then Chongzhen will ascend the throne.

In the next three months, Emperor Chongzhen will find ways to capture Wei Zhongxian until he is forced to death in December.

And this period of time is the prime time for their development.

As long as the Dynasty and the others did not attack the county, there was basically no risk of attracting the court's attention.

What's more, in the east of Shaanxi, there is Wang Er and others who are attracting the attention of the court.

But now, completely defeating the officers and soldiers in front of them is particularly important for the next plan.

At least, the officials in Weiyuan County should be prevented from easily sending troops to encircle and suppress them.

After discussing with Wang Dahu and others, everyone immediately decided to set up an ambush on a hill not far from Niaoshu Mountain and the only way to Niaoshu Mountain.

At the end of Youshi, at six or seven o'clock, the sun was already going down.

Chen Ying angrily bit the tail of Li Yu and others and pursued them crazily. He swore that he would catch up with them this time.

Just now, Li Yu and his men launched another sneak attack. Although they still did not cause much casualties, Chen Ying's accumulated anger completely exploded.

Even though they had been chasing for a while and the distance was gradually widening again, he did not give up chasing and kept closely behind Li Yu and his men.

"Chase, hurry up and chase. After passing the hill in front, we will reach the lair of those bandits. I want to see where they will escape."

While looking forward, Chen Ying shouted to encourage the soldiers behind him who were also exhausted and irritable.

As for whether those bandits would ambush in the mountain in front of them.

They have been closely following each other, so how could the other party have time to ambush?

Soon, they chased Li Yu and others, passed through the small hill, and the team was very long.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout of killing on the hill, and arrows fell like rain, accompanied by rolling logs and hitting stones.

In an instant, the officers and soldiers fell into chaos.

Looking at the sudden change, Chen Ying couldn't help but be stunned.

"Buzz~!"

The next moment, an arrow made a sharp and piercing sound and shot towards him.

"Be careful, sir!"

A sharp-eyed soldier spotted the arrow and pushed Chen Ying, who was stunned.

"Ah!"

Chen Ying, who was unprepared, was instantly pushed to the ground, and his head hit a hard rock, and a piece of red ooze out in an instant.

However, he was lucky to avoid the fatal blow and survived.

Chen Ying looked up with lingering fear, only to see that a soldier behind him had been pierced by the arrow and nailed to a big tree behind him.

"Save, save me!"

He spit out blood foam from his mouth and asked for help from the people around him in pain.

But at this time, no one could care about him.

In the end, after spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, his head tilted and he completely lost his life.

When Chen Ying woke up completely, shouts of killing were heard everywhere around him.

At the same time, shouts of "surrender and no killing" echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Surrender and no killing!"

"Surrender and no killing!"

Twenty days ago, the officers and soldiers were all peasants, so they naturally did not have much fighting spirit. When Wang Chao and others shouted that they would not be killed if they surrendered.

Without much hesitation, they all threw down their swords and guns and knelt down to surrender.

"Sir, run away!"

A guard looked at the mountain full of bandits and urged Chen Ying.

"Yes, yes, run away quickly, run away quickly."

Chen Ying also reacted at this time. He was completely defeated this time.

However, at this time, he had to find a way to escape first, otherwise everything would be over.

Picking up the goose feather knife that fell on the ground, Chen Ying immediately led a group of guards and ran forward in a panic.

As for going back, they were almost out of the hill. The rear was the main battlefield of the battle, so they naturally would not squeeze in headfirst.

However, they saw the chaotic fight in the back, but forgot that in front of them, there were still Li Yu's troops that they had been chasing closely.

So, when they left the battlefield and thought they should escape, they were completely numb when faced with more than a hundred big men who suddenly rushed up.

How could they forget that there were bandits in front of them?

But it was too late to say anything now.

Looking at Li Yu and others who had bad intentions on the opposite side, Chen Ying tightened the goose feather knife in his hand.

But in the end, he still sighed and threw the goose feather knife on the ground.

"Clang!"

"Clang"

Following Chen Ying, the rest of the people also threw down their knives.

"Haha, you are still self-aware.

Now, all of you hold your heads with your hands!"

Seeing the actions of Chen Ying and others, Li Yu couldn't help laughing, feeling indescribably happy and excited.

This is them, who really defeated the officers and soldiers and captured a centurion.

Moreover, he played an extremely important role in this.

When he returns to reward his merits, he will surely receive a great reward.

He does not ask for gold, silver or official positions now, but only asks the dynasty leader to grant him another magical power.

By then, he will be the strongest person under the dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Yu became even more excited.

"Quick, quick, tie them up for me and take them back to wait for the leader's decision."

When the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already past the first watch.

However, the lights on Niaoshu Mountain were bright, and there were a lot of people and laughter.

On the contrary, the captured Chen Ying and many officers and soldiers were like bereaved parents, and could only secretly pray that these bandits were not cruel and bloodthirsty.

Sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall, under the spiritual vision of the dynasty, a vast spiritual force field enveloped the entire Niaoshu Mountain, and endless spiritual power rose.

It seemed that because of the continuous fighting, a large amount of dark red military evil spirits began to be gathered and transformed by many heavenly and earthly positions.

Countless military evil spirits accumulated on Niaoshu Mountain, far more than before, like a dark red blood cloud, extremely breathtaking.

Even though many lives could not see it, they were all captivated by it.

There were no birds or beasts within a radius of hundreds of meters around, and all insects and ants were silent.

Including Chen Ying and many officers and soldiers, all felt a shadow in their hearts.

It seemed as if the current Niaoshu Mountain was a hell on earth, which made them extremely frightened, and a large amount of negative emotional spiritual power grew.

On the contrary, the people of Niaoshu Mountain suddenly felt safe and secure, and they respected the leader Dynasty even more.

Even the people who joined later, affected by this great victory, were instantly reunited, and their hearts became extremely stable.

I didn't expect the bandits of Niaoshu Mountain

Well, the righteous army would be so strong that even the officers and soldiers were defeated.

Does this mean that they can live a good life for a while?

The excitement after the great victory, the expectation and hope for the future life, the gratitude and blessing for the leader Dynasty, made a large area of ​​spiritual power rise.

Because it did not belong to the original spirituality of soldiers and armies, it was not transformed into military evil spirits by many heavenly and earthly positions, but instead gathered towards the dynasty.
