The mountain road was rugged, and Ma Shouying directly gave up his horse and ran into the dense and difficult mountain forest.

Ma Shouying swept behind him in a hurry, only to hear a "pop", and an old battalion soldier not far behind him was weak, and he was shot and stopped.

Ma Shouying couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he knew that his general situation had gone, and he no longer bothered to call the old camp to continue to resist the attack of the Tianwu Army, and now he only wanted to save his life, no matter what the deep mountains and old forests were, he fled directly to the depths.

Some of the old battalion soldiers who struggled to resist saw that Ma Ye ran faster than rabbits, so they naturally had no intention of fighting any further, and each found a way to escape, some loyal people followed the direction of Ma Shouying's escape, and more people found another way to escape, and some sand sculptures were dizzy and actually ran to the direction that the Tianwu Army was chasing.

The old camp has been in chaos, but the Tianwu army is still in order, they are fighting separately in the sentry unit, no matter how chaotic, the soldiers will follow their commander.

"The crown prince has an order, those who kill horses and guards will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

The commander of a regiment of the Tianwu Army shouted loudly, and then the battalion commanders, sentry commanders, and captains not far away were shouting to boost morale.

Ma Shouying heard the reward for himself behind him, and he was already panicking, running with all his might, and the Tianwu Army also spared no effort, trying to catch up.

Ma Shouying was already tired like a dog after running for a few miles, out of breath, his legs were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them.

He looked left and right, and saw that several old battalion soldiers around him were also panting with big mouths, as if they were competing to see who could pant more.

Ma Shouying exhaled a long breath and said, "Brothers, this time we will not die, and we will have a blessing, I don't know if you believe it or not!" If I go back to Henan......."

Before he could finish speaking, he only heard a snap, and a blood mist shot out of his chest, and his body was pierced back and forth.

Ma Shouying's face was full of incredulity, he desperately covered the wound, but it was useless, and the blood quickly stained his right hand.

"Master Ma!" Several of the old battalion soldiers screamed miserably, and they didn't know where the fire was firing.

"Smack!"

Not long after, gunshots rang out again in the mountains and forests, and Ma Shouying was shot again and fell down in response, his face full of unwillingness and depression.

"There is an ambush, run!" A few old battalion soldiers couldn't care about squeezing their tears anymore, and hurriedly left Ma Shouying's body and ran away.

A hundred paces away, on a rock, a sergeant took a telescope and looked at it carefully, "Has the head of the thief been killed?" ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said: "This captain makes a move, how can there be a reason for immortality?" Let's go collect people's heads! ”

The soldier smiled and said: "Captain, I'm afraid you are the biggest captain in the entire Ming Dynasty, after this meritorious service, do you still have to call you captain?" ”

In the sniper brigade, everyone is very envious of the captain Zhao Jinglin, since the crown prince set up a sniper brigade, he has repeatedly made meritorious achievements, killed enemy generals one after another, in the battle of cold mouth, he killed a Tartar Baylor, I heard that the king of the county, the court rewarded him by three levels, and rewarded him with a lot of money.

This time, Zhao Jinglin killed the thief's chief manager, according to the crown prince's order, the official was promoted to three levels, and the reward was 10,000 taels of silver, this time at least he had to be a general, which is really enviable.

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said: "You can't forget your roots, we are a sniper team, so call me the captain!" ”

The two talked and chatted, came to Ma Shouying's corpse, took out a portrait from his arms, and carefully compared a large number of them.

Zhao Jinglin smiled and said: "Yes, it's him, this time it's stable!" ”

Not long after, Li Shaoyou and other people from all walks of the Tianwu Army also arrived, they carefully looked at Ma Shouying's corpse, and said with complicated faces: "Why are you always taken advantage of by your sniper team!" ”

"Yes, our cavalry regiment has been chasing for hundreds of miles all the way, which is too much!"

"Hey, I've been working for more than a month!"

Zhao Jinglin said with a smile: "This is the credit of everyone's hard work, and after the reward is down, everyone will share the 10,000 taels of silver equally!" ”

Li Shaoyou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone is talking about fun, don't take it seriously, you just need to break the money to entertain our brother with a meal of wine and meat, and it's not interesting to share the money." ”

Zhao Jinglin smiled heartily and said, "It's easy to say! ”

Li Shaoyou swept towards everyone, and suddenly said: "There are still many old camps of the Liukou distributed in the mountains, so let's work harder to clean up all the Liukou hiding in the mountains, so as not to cause endless trouble!" ”

"An old battalion head officer is promoted to one level, you just let us rest, we can't either, the brothers have killed the thief and received the merit!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

The various units of the Tianwu Army began to carry out an all-round search and arrest in the mountains, and everyone rushed to find the old camp of thieves and spared no effort.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Wuchang, he set up Huguangxing Zhongshu Province, abolished Zhongshu Province in the ninth year of Hongwu, and set up Huguangcheng announced the "three divisions" yamen such as the political envoy department, the criminal envoy department and the command envoy department, and the yamen were all located in Wuchang.

These three divisions are in charge of politics, prisons, and the army, because of the separation of powers, the various yamen pass the buck to each other, resulting in extremely low administrative efficiency, orthodox three years, the imperial court set up the governor of Huguang, so that the three powers are unified, and the administrative efficiency is greatly improved, and then the local chief military officer is set up, and Wuchang Road is changed to Wuchang Mansion.

Wuchang Mansion has nine counties and one prefecture under its jurisdiction, and the yamen in Wuchang City gathers, the three divisions of the yamen at the provincial level, as well as the Wuchang Prefecture level and Jiangxia county-level official offices, so it is called "Huguang Hui City".

In late October, Zhu Cihong entered Wuchang.

Before crossing the river by boat, Xu Sheng ordered everyone on the dragon boat to get off the boat, and no idle people were allowed to haunt within ten miles, and the dragon boat was helmed by the personal guards of the Yongwei Battalion.

After the guards of the Yongwei battalion rode on the dragon boat for twelve hours, Xu Sheng asked Zhu Cihong to get on the boat and cross the river to Wuchang.

After Zhu Cihong got on the boat, he suddenly ordered the dragon boat to go down the Yangtze River, not to cross the river in Hankou, which was planned, but to Tianxingzhou, which was twenty miles away.

Zhu Cihong walked to Tianxingzhou, completely out of safety, Wuchang's Yangtze River is three miles wide, Tianxingzhou is a small island in the Yangtze River, only one mile away from both sides of the Yangtze River, even if an accident occurs, you can take refuge on Tianxingzhou to avoid splashing in the water.

As the saying goes, if you eat a trench, you will grow wise, Zhu Cihong encountered this situation when he crossed the river in Taiping Mansion, that is, he relied on Jiang Xinzhou in the Yangtze River to pick up a life, and he naturally paid more attention to it this time.

Since Zhu Cihong gradually abolished the guard system, people who want to kill him because of the damage to their interests are everywhere, it can be said that many people have reached the point of madness, Zhu Cihong knows that in the future, he will clean up the gentry and nobles, and he will inevitably offend more people, and the people who want to kill him can be lined up from Yingtianfu to Shuntianfu, and he must strengthen the security guards in the future, always beware of plots, and must not die before he gets out of the school.
