Chapter 150: Cleanup
"The big officials are just too soft-hearted!"
Hearing the plea of Yang Zhen and others to borrow troops, Zhang Heng had a dark face, and complained about Wang Songlai in the first sentence.
"If I had tied it up and thrown it into the canal, how could I have these things today! You say, 'The great officials are too kind to women, so that they have left these evils today."
Yang Zhen and the others were so frightened that they could only smile bitterly on the side. In the loyal army, those who dare to complain about Wang Song in such a face-to-face are the only ones who dare to complain about Wang Song in addition to Wang Song's brother Wang Qing.
Don't say that Yang Zhen is a Zhizhou, even Guo Yong and Li Ruoxu, who are members of the Xuanfu Division, and when they see Zhang Heng, they must also be polite.
"Two brothers, I can't mobilize the army!"
After complaining, Zhang Heng sat down and said in a deep voice: "You take my own soldiers to deal with those native chickens and tile dogs, it should be enough!"
Duan Sheng bowed and said, "General Zhang, if the prince blames him, he will trouble you to bear more."
"Just do it with confidence!"
Zhang Heng waved his hand and lowered his voice.
"The bigger the better, preferably with corpses strewn all over the field and rivers of blood. If there are any problems, I will bear it alone!"
Killing chickens and monkeys is just a shock to the young.
At the gate of the north of Xiangzhou City, the people who went out of the city and entered the city came and went, and the soldiers who checked were weak and had a bad attitude, and from time to time they scavenged some things from the people, and the city gate was crying and crying, and they were noisy.
The other soldiers on duty had indifferent expressions, and what was happening in front of them did not seem to arouse their interest, all of which had long been commonplace.
"Second brother, you said that we are guarding Xiangzhou City, and we can't get any money. If it goes on like this, what can I do in the future, and the whole family can count on it."
The sergeant called "Second Brother" was also full of sadness, slammed the gun in his hand to the ground, shook his head and said:
"Zhang En, it's also in vain for you to ask the second brother. Zhao Buqian is unwilling to hand over Xiangzhou, and he does not accept the official position of the loyal and righteous army, how can we run the dignified Song royal family, even Wang Song does not dare to move, we can only endure these hardships. ”
"Second brother, let's run away! I heard that the Daimyo's Mansion is recruiting soldiers, and there is money and land points, so we might as well go to the army, so the family won't be hungry!"
Hearing Wang Chip's words, the "second brother" moved in his heart, and then shook his head and said: "Our family is in Xiangzhou, and we can't come back if we leave, no!"
"What the second brother said is true! If our brothers leave, what will happen to the family's house and land in case they are occupied by the Lin family or the Yan family, how can they come back in the future?"
"Liu Er, Liu San, it's almost enough, what valuable things can these people have!"
The second brother shouted loudly twice at the two soldiers at the city gate, and then turned his head and lowered his voice.
"The Yan and Lin families have been officials for generations, and the ancestors' generation has also been bankrupt. Now that I finally turned over, it was naturally a search that would sacrifice my life. ”
"The second brother is very right!"
Wang Chip agreed again:
"When Fanzi went south, the villagers died and fled, and there were not many people left in Xiangzhou. The Lin and Yan families relied on the power of the government to transfer the ownerless fertile land to their own hands. You just said that this Yonghe Town, the banks of the Huanshui River, and a few fields belong to other families, and they all belong to his two families!"
"How much land does this Yan and Lin have?"
Someone in the crowd asked curiously.
"At least more than 1,000 acres. This year's harvest is so good, and Fanzi didn't come to harass him, Lin and Yan, each of which has at least a thousand stone income. If it weren't for the fact that the grain was growing so well, Yan Zhong would not have returned the land to Yan Qi's family. The fat in his mouth is about to be spit out, how can Yan Zhong be willing!"
Zhang En shook his head and said, "This Yan Zhong is really not a thing!" The villagers in the township didn't forget to occupy the fields, and they also ruined Yan Qi's daughter, causing them to hang themselves. This is to be ...... by heaven."
"Shut up!"
The second brother looked around and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yi, you don't want to die." If Yan Zhong or Lin Jiaren hear this, you will be in trouble!"
Zhang En also felt a little regretful in his heart, and quickly glanced around, and saw a young man wearing a hanging leg and a round-necked brocade robe standing outside the circle, as if he was listening.
"You, disperse and go home!"
Zhang En frowned and shouted loudly. Looking at the young man's dress, he is just an ordinary businessman, and he should not be the dog leg of the Lin and Yan families.
The second and third brothers Liu were overjoyed, and beckoned to the young man: "Wu Na man, come here!"
Zhang En frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Two brothers, it's not easy to go out these days, it's not easy to do business, let it go if you can."
Liu Er rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Zhang Xiaoyi, don't worry about this matter!" The identity of this guy is unknown, it can't be a fanzi's meticulous work, our brothers naturally want to take a good look!"
Zhang En turned his head and ignored the Liu brothers again.
"The two military masters, I came from Bianliang City and went to Hebei to do some small business. This is the next road guide, please take a look at it!"
The young man took out the guide and handed it over. At the same time, there is also a piece of silver with five taels.
Liu San's eyes were sharp, and he saw a large pile of white flowers and silver in the young man's baggage, and his eyes were about to shine.
"You are a trader, you are clearly a Jurchen man, come with me to the yamen!"
The brothers were concentric, the two looked at each other, Liu Er took out the chain, raised his hand and put it on the young man's neck, Liu San pretended to be next to him, and had already drawn a knife in his hand.
This young man's cooperation is still self-sufficient. If you dare to blindly resist arrest, let him be a knife soul today.
"What a big bold!"
As soon as Liu Er's iron chain was placed on the man's shoulder, the man snorted coldly, and suddenly pulled out a short knife and stabbed directly into Liu Er's chest.
Liu San was dumbfounded, standing there with a knife in his hand, and he didn't react for a while.
Zhang En and the others in the back didn't know what was going on. By the time they reacted, Liu Er had already covered his chest with his hands and slowly fell to the ground.
"Xuanfu Si Xiangzhou Yamen Gongren do things, arrest the fugitives in the case, the people must not panic!"
The young man held a bloody short knife in his hand, pointed at Zhang En and the others in front of him, and said loudly:
"We have been ordered by the Xuanfu Division to arrest Zhao Buxian, the former Xiangzhou General Judge, Yan Zhong, and Lin Jiaren, the Xu official of Anyang County. Everyone wait, all kneel and surrender, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Around the young man, and in the cave of the city gate, hundreds of young men dressed as ordinary people all took out their swords and guns, stared at each other, and confronted the officials and soldiers at the city gate.
With a "poof", a feathered arrow on the city wall flew quickly, shooting at the young man's arrow, although it was protected by armor, but it was also three points into the body.
"Brothers, join me in killing these Jurchens, and sentence them there, and there will be a lot of rewards!"
Lin Jiayi shouted loudly on the city wall, and began to draw his bow and arrows again, commanding a group of soldiers, and shooting downward.
Caught off guard, the feathered arrows galloped, and soon a dozen sergeants fell under their horses.
"Grenade!"
The young man who was hit by the arrow was furious, endured the pain, and gave the order to attack.
Dozens of smoking grenades were thrown at the head of the city, and with the sound of "Tongtong" explosions, pillars of smoke rose at the head of the city, enveloping the entire city gate tower.
"Keep throwing it, blow up the gate tower of this dog day for me!"
Zhang En, the second brother and others at the gate of the city were already frightened, and everyone was panicked, eager to find a crack in the ground and quickly get in.
Wang Chip pointed to the official road in the distance and stammered, "Ride...... Soldiers!"
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Wang Chip, and saw a team of ironclad cavalry coming on the wide official road.
"Stand stupidly and throw away your weapons, quickly kneel down, and welcome the brothers of the loyal army!"
The second brother shouted loudly, took the lead in throwing away the spear in his hand, and knelt on the ground.
Zhang En hurriedly threw away the long knife, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Kneel down, kneel down!"
The sergeants suddenly realized that Wang Song had more than 100,000 male soldiers, how could he be compared to these wall grasses. The sound of "clang" continued to sound, and a weapon was thrown on the ground, and dozens of sergeants at the city gate all knelt on the ground.
The North City Gate Tower has been shrouded in thick gunsmoke. Zhang Heng's own soldiers threw grenades at the city wall while rushing towards the city wall. Barely encountering much resistance, they easily stormed the city walls.
The walls were in shambles, human organs, severed limbs, and blood were everywhere, and twenty or thirty soldiers defending the city lay in pools of blood, dead or wounded, groaning and screaming.
The soldiers stepped forward and made up for it one by one, and silence quickly returned to the city walls.
In the deafening sound of horses' hooves, hundreds of knights soon arrived at the city gate, and the leading knight saw that the young man's chest was dyed red, and asked with concern: "Zhang Bao, is the wound in the way?"
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Li can rest assured, it's just a skin injury, and he can't miss a major event, but he just broke six or seven brothers."
Commander Li nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Bao, you take your brothers to guard the city gate, and I and the cavalry will go to catch Yan Zhong and Zhao Butry that thief!"
The second brother stepped forward and said in a trembling voice: "General, the villain is willing to make meritorious contributions and lead the way for the army!"
"Lin Dutou, what happened, the city is so noisy"
Before Lin Jiaren could answer, the sergeant had already hurried in from the outside and said loudly: "Tell Zhao Zhizhou that Wang Song's army has occupied the gate of Beicheng and has entered the city!"
"Where is my second brother?"
Lin Jiaren grabbed the sergeant and asked loudly.
"The villain didn't see Second Brother Lin coming down, thinking that he was already killed. Wang Song's army is coming, but I am afraid that it will soon arrive at the Zhizhou Yamen!"
Lin Jiaren's face was pale, and he sat back in his chair and was speechless for a long time.
"Judge, you run away, otherwise it's too late!"
Zhao Buqian shook his head slightly, lay back in the chair, and said softly: "What are you panicking about!" The official doesn't believe it, then Wang Song can still take the official's life."
Suddenly, Lin Jiaren pulled out his knife, slashed the sergeant in front of him with a knife, followed by a fierce knife, slashed at Zhao Buxian's chest, and kicked him to the ground.
"You're going to die, I don't want to die!"
Lin Jiaren stabbed Zhao Buqian in the chest again, and said fiercely in his mouth: "I want to take your head in exchange for the brilliant future of my Lin family."
Zhao Buxian's eyes were painful, he pointed at Lin Jiaren, and finally hung down weakly.
"Listen to me, all the family members of Zhao Butry will be killed. If anyone wants to die, don't drag everyone!"
Yan Zhong hurriedly ran in and shouted:
"Zhao Xianggong, run away, Wang Song's army has come in!"
Before the words fell, a public servant who received the hint from Lin Jiaren's eyes stabbed Yan Zhong from behind and knocked Yan Zhong to the ground.
"Lin Jiaren, you shit, do you think that if you kill me, the loyal army will spare you?"
Seeing Lin Jiaren carrying a knife and coming up viciously, Yan Zhong was shocked and angry, and roared loudly.
"So far, I can only exchange your head for the safety of my family!"
Lin Jiaren did not hesitate and cut it down with a knife.
With the return of Xiangzhou to the rule, the lucky people in Kaedokfu, Gyeonggi, Xijing and other prefectures and counties either swore allegiance to the Xuanfu Division, or abandoned their posts and left the jurisdiction under the control of the Loyal and Righteous Army.
