Water Margin farming to become powerful

After caring about the issue of military rations, Sun Xin walked out of Puyang's Yamen and came to the city wall. He saw countless people surrounding the city wall, all watching the trial on the city wall.

When the army entered the city, the Puyang Supervisory Committee was also established. The cadres of the Supervisory Committee had been selected long ago, and now they are dealing with the aftermath while enforcing the law.

A large number of die-hard elements who caused casualties to the Protector Army during their siege were naturally the first batch of targets of the dictatorship. The Puyang Supervisory Committee held an on-site office and set up a table under the city wall, tied up the prisoners and pushed them onto the platform. After stating the charges, search for the legal documents of the Supervisory Committee, and then pronounce the sentence directly.

There was no such thing as hiring a lawyer in this era. In troubled times, heavy punishments were used. The defenders who surrendered directly had a chance to be sentenced to labor reform. However, most of those who caused a large number of casualties to the defenders while defending the city were hastily sentenced and pulled to the city wall. Behead.

This was the invention of Pei Xuan, the iron-faced man, who beheaded people on a high platform on the city wall so that the people in the city could see it.

The main purpose is not to shock the people, but to win people's hearts.

These defenders did nothing when defending Puyang City. They robbed people, tortured merchants, took wives and daughters, and forcibly arrested young people. A few months after the Jurchens entered Puyang, the population of Puyang City had been reduced by one-third, and all of them were captured. These Han soldiers and Jurchens were tortured to death together. If they were not afraid that there would be no manpower available to defend the city, Puyang City would have been completely wiped out by the Jurchens and these traitors.

At this time, when the people saw these garrison generals being beheaded, they all felt very happy.

When Sun Xin came out to take a look, he saw that the Supervisory Committee was pronouncing the crime of a Han army grain collector who was guarding the city.

The evidence is easy to grasp. From the people he murdered to the Han army who helped him, more than a dozen people stood up and directly came to the stage to accuse the grain collector of various behaviors. This guy was not even an old man from the Changsheng Army, but a woman who had just surrendered. Real person, a few months old former Song Dynasty officer, maybe out of fear before the war, maybe out of the desire to vent once he gained power, this guy actually robbed more than a dozen women and tortured them to death while requisitioning food.

When the Supervisory Committee announced the verdict and the decision was made, the people in the audience instantly burst into cheers.

After a while, the man was dragged to the top of the city and beheaded. When his body was taken off the city wall, Sun Xin saw a five or six-year-old boy chasing after him. The boy took a broken brick in his hand and smashed the headless body with all his strength. , while smashing and cursing: "You give back to my mother! You give back to my mother!"

Sun Xin sighed in his heart, turned around and said to his banker: "Ask the Supervisory Committee of Puyang to allocate people to do civil affairs work as soon as possible after the trial, especially war orphans. After Puyang City is conquered, the primary school will be implemented next year. construction.”

At this moment, an officer came over and reported: "Pharmacist Guo has been caught."

Sun Xin asked: "Did you confess anything?"

The officer said: "He said he didn't know Wanyan Zongwang's military arrangements. He had been tortured three times. It seemed like he really didn't know the details."

Sun Xin nodded.

"The owner of the village, he said he wants to see you."

Sun Xindao: "If he has something to confess, he should come to see me. If he cannot confess, ask him about the situation in North China and hand it over to the Supervisory Committee for trial."

Sun Xin really has no interest in such a shameless guy as Guo Yaoshi. This guy has not done many good things to the people of North China or Hebei. He followed Wanyan Zongwang all the way south to burn, kill and loot. Not falling.

The current death penalty methods of the Supervisory Committee are only hanging and beheading. Sun Xin thinks it is too light and even wants to send Pharmacist Guo to the Song Dynasty. If Zhao Ji sees this guy, he will probably be killed a thousand times according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. cut.

...After Wanyan Zongwang left Liyang, he followed the main force westward to Weizhou on the Yellow River. He wanted to see the battle situation in Liyang. If Guo Yaoshi could defend him, he would wait for an opportunity to cross the Yellow River and continue to threaten Bianliang.

Unexpectedly, five days later, the Jurchen soldiers who returned from Huazhou hurriedly told Wanyan Zongwang that Liyang had been lost.

Wanyan Zongwang's nose was crooked with anger. He thought that the Han army under Guo Yaoshi could no longer fight tens of thousands of troops to defend Liyang City, and it would be delayed for more than half a month. However, including the march time of the protective army, Guo Yaoshi Li Yang was lost in one day.

The news that the Supervisory Council defeated the Jurchens and captured Liyang City in the first battle in Liyang spread throughout the world within a few days, and the shock was naturally considerable.

The Supervisory Committee on the front had just spread the news that it would send troops to regain the Han territory, and Liyang was captured in the blink of an eye. And more news showed that the Supervisory Committee was not avoiding the truth. Liyang was where Wanyan Zongwang stationed troops, and it would not be easy. Will give up.

The Song Dynasty was overjoyed. People south of the Yellow River spontaneously celebrated the Supervisory Committee. In the hearts of the Han people, this was the Han people who finally had an army that could repel the Jurchens. Regardless of whether the Supervisory Committee obeyed the Song Dynasty or not, As long as they can be protected from the Jurchens' iron hoof invasion, these people will support them from the bottom of their hearts.

Even the frequent smear propaganda against the Supervisory Committee in Bianliang City was silenced. Although a few Song Dynasty officials still insisted that the Supervisory Committee only avoided the truth and defeated the Han army under Wanyan Zongwang, and it did not count. What a commendable achievement, but most officials of the Song Dynasty were also secretly celebrating. Basically, they felt that the emergence of a force like the Supervisory Committee in the north could greatly delay the Jurchens' invasion of the south.

Some officials even suggested that it would be better to use the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, so that the Supervisory Committee and the Jurchens would fight in the north, and the Song Dynasty would have the advantage of being a fisherman.

This is a purely funny idea. Just like the people of the Song Dynasty imagined that the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom were fighting in the north, and the Song Kingdom could take over the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, there are not many Song Dynasty state capitals north of the Yellow River that are holding on. As a result, these guys ran to the south of the Yellow River and wanted to use the same routine again.

The officials of the Song Dynasty who were guarding Shanshan alone and the Jurchen soldiers under Wanyan Zonghan who learned the news were also dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought that the supervisory committee in North China was extremely powerful because of the support of the Han people in Liao. It was impossible for the Han people in the Song Dynasty to have such ability.

Therefore, the combat capability of the Shandong Supervisory Committee is definitely not as good as that of the North China base. Wanyan Zongwang's troops are invincible, and it is simply difficult for the Supervisory Committee to withstand them.

But he didn't expect that the Supervisory Committee would directly seize the Hebei transshipment base at the gate of Shandong shortly after sending troops.

The morale of the Shandong prefecture, which was still resisting desperately, was greatly boosted, while Wanyan Zonghan hurriedly sent troops to fight faster to the east, hoping to rescue the threatened Wanyan Zongwang.

Without such a hub for troop transfer, the situation of the Jurchens' southern invasion also completely changed.

Wanyan Zongwang could only plan to return north now, or at least retreat to Luoyang. He had to get in touch with Wanyan Zonghan, who entered the Song Dynasty from Shanxi, to ensure his safety.

There are supervisory committee forces fighting behind enemy lines along the way, and it won't take long after the escort army guards Liyang. They will definitely have to fight to the west and north. What's more, Qidi has more than one army. If Sun Xin has another The troops came out from Dezhou and could cover Wanyan Zongwang's retreat in a matter of minutes.

Just when the Supervisory Committee's plan was being implemented steadily and the situation was finally getting better, Zhao Ji suddenly issued an edict in Bianliang.Everyone in the Supervisory Committee was confused, and then they started to curse.
