I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The 24th Division made its last supply at Changde, then entered Dashan and headed towards Dayong County, also known as Zhangjiajie.

They did not bring artillery, nor other baggage.

But even so, these mountain roads also made Hua Jun suffer.

They have to rest several times a day, and their legs can't stand it.

As they walked, they were almost attacked by a tiger.

Fortunately, there were so many of them that the tiger roared at them a few times and then retreated, scaring a few Chinese soldiers to the point of falling.

At that time, the tiger appeared very suddenly, and they didn't have time to raise their guns.

At that time, if the tigers rushed forward desperately, they would definitely suffer casualties.

In the absence of weapons, man is a dish against a tiger, which combines strength and agility.

After discovering the tiger, everyone raised their vigilance a little, and then they were prepared to shoot and kill two of them on the road. At dinner, everyone drank a mouthful of tiger soup.

Two tigers, 13,000 people to share, can have a bowl of soup is not bad.

Even the person who eats a piece of meat will make a lot of money.

Along the way, almost no one was there.

They didn't see people until they crossed the mountains and arrived at Dayong County.

The woodcutters who came to chop wood were almost scared to death when they saw Dahua's army.

Although they also knew that these soldiers were definitely not here for themselves, the scale still brought them an invisible sense of oppression.

Under the leadership of several woodcutters, the 24th Division came outside Dayong County.

They want to disguise and sneak into the city, the key is that there are not so many clothes.

In desperation, they could only swagger toward the county seat.

When the people in Dayong County saw the sudden appearance of an unfamiliar army, they immediately chose to close the gate and hide.

Afterwards, Hua Jun arranged for a messenger to come forward. "Our army is the fourth division of the Dahua Second Army. We have come to recover the lost ground. You are not ready to open the city gate and surrender."

When the Ming army soldiers in the city heard that it was the Hua army, they panicked and hurriedly sent someone to ask the county magistrate to call the shots.

The county magistrate, He Cheng, saw that Hua Jun was also a godless man, and didn't know what to do.

As a parental official, he has the responsibility of guarding the land.

However, he also understood that he was simply powerless to contend.

The total number of soldiers in their county was more than 500. When the incident happened suddenly, he didn't even have time to hire and recruit strong people to assist in defending the city.

On the opposite side of the Hua army, there are more than 10,000 people visible to the naked eye, so there is no need to fight.

Under the persuasion of the Chinese envoy, He Cheng finally ordered to open the city gate to surrender.

He didn't dare to make Hua Jun angry, for fear that after he resisted, he would provoke Hua Jun to do something brutal.

This kind of thing used to happen quite often.

The Hua army entered the county seat and immediately summoned the rich in the city, asking them to borrow food.

Of course, borrowing from the common people is not as easy as borrowing from the rich and landlords. These landlords are very afraid of death and would rather spend money to eliminate disasters.

Ordinary people, for their only remaining life-saving rations, may work hard with the Chinese army.

Where there are rich people, you can choose to borrow from the rich.

But outside the county seat, in a place where there is no county seat and where the rich gather, it is impossible to borrow food only from the rich.

There will be a long way down the road without county towns, and there may only be some villages at most.

So, now you have to take the opportunity to scrape it hard.

"Everyone, our army is borrowing food from you. Look, even the IOUs are ready. In the future, you can hold these notes at any time and ask Dahua for food."

Li Lianfan asked people to take out a bunch of bills, and there were eight landlords at the scene, one for each, each of 10,000 jin.

A total of 80,000 kilograms of rice was raised, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, the average share is not much. Each person can carry six or seven kilograms.

For the 24th Division of the Huajun Army, this was just six or seven days of rations.

However, for these landlords, 10,000 catties of grain is still quite a lot.

After all, Dayong County is not really a wealthy place, and there is little arable land.

Even the so-called landlords are not very wealthy.

On the spot, there was a rich man named He Ruda who bluntly said that he did not believe that Dahua would return it. This was clearly a clear robbery.

Originally, everyone was unhappy, but now some people take the lead in resisting, and the others are silent, wanting to see how Li Lianfan dealt with He Ruda.

If you kill the head directly, then you will quickly and honestly pay food to protect your life.

If Hua Jun had concerns and did not dare to be too tough, then they would also resist.

Ten thousand catties of grain cannot be lost in vain.

Li Lianfan stared at He Ruda with cold eyes, and he was a little flustered when he stared at him.

However, the cruel words have already been said, and it would be too embarrassing for him to go back on it immediately.

He Ru didn't change his mind, and Li Lianfan also held back his anger.

Since it is said to be borrowed, naturally it cannot be robbed.

Li Lianfan called He Cheng to the back room and pressed him to ask if He Ruda had done anything wrong.

He Cheng immediately understood when he heard the words. This was to find an excuse to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys.

He had no choice, he knew that if he didn't sacrifice He Ruda to satisfy these soldiers and bandits, he would be unlucky at that time.

He Ru is a big family, but the whole city has to follow the unlucky.

In times of war, it would be foolish to reason with soldiers.

Therefore, He Cheng shook out some of the things that He Ruda had oppressed the good people in the past.

This kind of tyrannical landlord in the remote mountains, almost no one is innocent, and many are problems.

Later, according to He Cheng's prompt, Hua Jun found some of the original victims, and under the pretext of being the master of the people and eliminating the harm for the people, he directly confiscated He Ruda's home.

The people didn't know why, so naturally they clapped their hands and applauded.

However, they cannot get the benefits of raiding their homes.

When several other landlords saw He Ruda's fate, they immediately came to the barracks and offered food.

Among them, a very shrewd landlord donated an extra 20,000 catties.

As for the request, it is only to receive He Ruda's land and other real estate.

He knew very well that the soldiers only wanted gold, silver and food, and certainly not for land and real estate.

And these things are treasures to these landlords.

Li Lianfan looked at the guy who was eating human-blooded buns in front of him and commented lazily. Anyway, for him, getting food was a serious business.

After raiding the house and the generosity of other landlords, Hua Jun only managed to collect 110,000 catties, 30,000 catties more than expected.

These grains are not transported by special civilian husbands, and all rely on the soldiers to carry them themselves.

Each person has been divided into about ten pounds, which is another heavy burden.

But there is no way, they can only walk with the weight and hit the road again.
